# Overview

Autonomy controls when Foxora asks before a mutating action; it does not change read-only access, model quality, or hard safety policy.

*Studio interface in English. Sample data.*

## Steps

1. Choose Ask permissions for approval on every mutation.
2. Choose Accept edits to preapprove workspace file writes only.
3. Choose Auto mode to preapprove in-workspace mutations.
4. Choose Full Access on Desktop only after granting the separate device capability.

## Expected result

The composer displays the task’s active authority and approval cards appear only when that mode requires them.

> **Note:** The default selected during onboarding applies to new tasks and can be changed per task.
