Editing a GitHub App's permissions	{% data reusables.shortdesc.editing_permissions_for_github_apps %}	[/apps/building-integrations/managing-github-apps/editing-a-github-app-s-permissions/ /apps/managing-github-apps/editing-a-github-app-s-permissions]	[{free-pro-team *} {enterprise-server *} {github-ae *}]

{% note %}

Note: Updated permissions won't take effect on an installation until the owner of the account or organization approves the changes. You can use the InstallationEvent webhook to find out when people accept new permissions for your app. One exception is user-level permissions, which don't require the account owner to approve permission changes.
