Configure Tauri plugin permissions by creating capability files in src-tauri/capabilities for each window. This structure enables granular control, allowing you to securely grant specific windows access to designated resources while isolating others.

Tauri capabilities define least-privilege security boundaries for your app and plugins. You need custom permissions when implementing scope-based access, such as securely granting a window the ability to read a specific directory while keeping other resources isolated.

Yes, Tauri supports per-platform plugin permissions through platform targeting in capability files. You can define permissions that apply across desktop targets including Linux, Windows, and macOS, alongside specific considerations for mobile environments.

Grant directory access by defining scope-based permissions within the window's capability file in src-tauri/capabilities. This method securely isolates other resources while allowing the specified window to perform read actions on the target directory.

The best way to manage least-privilege security in Tauri is by structuring capability files to define default sets, custom permissions, and scope-based access. This ensures plugins and host apps only receive the exact permissions needed for their actions.
