    Listed below are the permissions asked for and the relevance of these for authentication.

    • Location: Allows cidaas to access your approximate location (using cellular base stations and Wi-Fi hotspots) and exact location (using GPS).This is needed for the audit logs to enable you to trace any misuse.

    • Camera: Allows cidaas to use your camera to take photos, scan QR codes, and record videos. This is needed for some of the authentication mechanisms like face recognition.

    • Media: Allows cidaas to use your gallery to upload ID proofs (e.g., passport or driving license). This will be used for the ID validator.

    • Mic: Allows cidaas to use your mic for voice recognition. This permission is necessary for voice based and IVR authentication mechanisms.

    Note: If you click on "“Don't allow"”, that relevant Muti-Factor-Authentication (MFA) cannot be configured. However, you will still be prompted for the permission at the time of MFA configuration if permission has been denied during start up.
