Permissions: revoke() method

Syntax

revoke(permissionDescriptor)

Parameters

permissionDescriptor

An object that sets options for the revoke operation. The available options for this descriptor depend on the permission type.

All permissions have a name:

name

A string containing the name of the API whose permissions you want to query. The returned Promise will reject with a TypeError if the permission name is not supported by the browser.

For the push permissions you can also specify:

userVisibleOnly Optional

(Push only, not supported in Firefox — see the Browser Support section below) Indicates whether you want to show a notification for every message or be able to send silent push notifications. The default is false.

For the midi permission you can also specify:

sysex Optional

Indicates whether you need and/or receive system exclusive messages. The default is false.

Return value

A Promise that calls its fulfillment handler with a PermissionStatus object indicating the result of the request.

Exceptions

TypeError

Retrieving the PermissionDescriptor information failed in some way, or the permission doesn't exist or is currently unsupported (e.g., midi, or push with userVisibleOnly).

Examples

This function can be used by an app to request that its own Geolocation API permission be revoked.

function revokePermission() {
  navigator.permissions.revoke({ name: "geolocation" }).then((result) => {
    report(result.state);
  });
}
