App permissions are handled via MAC policy and the trust store. The Trust
store is used to store the permissions the user has granted an app,
eg. camera, mic, or location. You can view (and change) these permissions
in System Settings > Security & Privacy > App Permissions.

The easiest way to view the MAC policy is to install the Permy app by
Jamie Strandboge, this will enable you to see the Policy groups and
extra permissions an application has.
