Occasionally, a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that you have installed will request additional permissions. This may happen if the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} owner wants the app to make additional API requests or respond to additional webhook events. For more information about what different permissions enable a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} to do, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/creating-github-apps/setting-up-a-github-app/choosing-permissions-for-a-github-app).

When a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} requests additional permissions, {% data variables.product.company_short %} will notify you if the app is installed on your personal account or on an account that you own.
|
|
|
|
You can choose whether to accept the additional permissions. If you do not approve the additional permissions, the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} will still retain its current permissions. The {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} may not function as expected if you do not approve the additional permissions.
|
|
|
|
If the app is authorized but not installed or if the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} only requested additional account permissions, {% data variables.product.company_short %} will not notify you. Instead, the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} will prompt you to reauthorize the app in order to enable the new account permissions. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/using-github-apps/authorizing-github-apps).
