The desktop Security Center will provide easy-to-access security features in Ubuntu.
In this first release, users can enable experimental application permissions prompting for fine-grained control over how apps access files and folders.
Permissions management requires the supporting prompting-client snap to be installed alongside; this is included by default on Ubuntu 24.10 and future releases.
New features will be added in coming releases.
