[feature request] App permission control center & redirect to sandbox on deny
asked 2015-04-14 15:08:53 +0300
I want a central point of settings in System > App-permission-contol-center where i can see all Apps and services (native & dalvik) and there corresponding permissions. If we deny the permisson for an App so it should´n blocked completly (stop running) it should redirected in to a blank sandbox.
In Addition may you can configure which services can stay persistent in background after closing Apps (Whatsup, Google services, Situations, etc.), so you have the full control.
Also needed feature of control centre:
Dalvik on demand
Configure the Alien Dalvik Runtime if no Android App is Open:
do nothing and stay in background stop dalvik after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 min inactivity
Network access for each app / service on option - buttons ( none, Wlan, 4G, 3G, 2G, BT) <thanks @pattjolla="" for="" inspiration=""></thanks>
So we can be sure, that there are no services left in background who mess up memory, try to spy data and we can improof our battery life
I know there might be some nearby similar requests at some pionts, but i want a summary sollution on this
edit: first partes implemented at update 1.1.7.24
- prevent loading app services on system startup (seems to be not runing correctly)
- Force stop
- kill cache
- kill data
edit: Needed feature: prevent autoreload of backgroundtasks
edit: Any news from Jolla Dev on this? Seems 2 be nothing new implemented on 2.0.0.10 since 1.1.7.24
edit: Update 2.0.2.48 Aurajoki Nothing new on this site
This is definitely needed for a OS which is focused on privacy and security.

lakutalo ( 2015-05-06 16:43:45 +0300 )editYes and no @lakutalo Sailfish Secure is more, it is the device full control, full encryption with DLP (Data lost prevention, management, deployment, collaboration and encrypted data connection sollution for authorities and cooperations. And it´s seperate from SailfishOS surely not for free. I want a less inflated and more fundamental integration, where everyone get´s the benefit of it
evo3de ( 2015-05-06 16:55:03 +0300 )editI would not mind paying for it, but that is up to the individual. As you say, it will be a holistic solution. Don't worry, I got your point. Also SElinux is considered as an option to be road-mapped (see here). That would surely establish a solid basis for the type of control center you requested for SFOS in common (which I also suggested here).
lakutalo ( 2015-05-06 17:11:10 +0300 )editBtw. you (enduser) might not pay for Sailfish Secure, this doesn´t matter because it is an Enterprise Suite so companys, authoritys etc will pay licence fees as they doing it for every system with central administration opportunity or enterprise background / premium support
