What Permissions Does the Silvanet Deployment App Require? – Help Center

This article explains the permissions required by the Silvanet Deployment App, why they are necessary, and how they support a smooth and reliable deployment process in the field.

The app is designed to request only the permissions needed to perform essential deployment tasks such as scanning devices, verifying locations, and testing connectivity.

Required Permissions

1. Camera Access

Why it’s needed:
The camera is used to scan QR codes on devices during registration and deployment.

What happens without it:
You will not be able to register or activate devices using QR code scanning.

2. Location Access (GPS)

Why it’s needed:
Location access is required to:

Verify that devices are installed in their planned locations
Validate deployment areas
Perform connectivity and placement checks

Important:
Accurate GPS data is essential for proper deployment validation.

What happens without it:
The app may not allow deployment confirmation or may show location-related warnings.

3. Internet / Network Access

Why it’s needed:
An internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) is required to:

Sync deployment data
Validate device status
Communicate with the Silvanet Cloud

What happens without it:
You may be able to perform limited actions offline, but data will not sync until connectivity is restored.

Permission Best Practices

For the best experience:

Allow Location access set to “Precise” (if prompted by your device).
Enable permissions when first launching the app.
Avoid restricting background permissions during active deployment work.

If permissions are denied, you can enable them later in your device’s system settings under Apps → Silvanet Deployment App → Permissions.

Data Privacy

The Silvanet Deployment App only uses permissions for operational deployment purposes. It does not collect unnecessary personal data. Location and device information are used strictly to support accurate installation and network validation.
