Our Commentary ​

This is one of those UX issues that seems small but has a huge impact. How many times have I seen users get stuck because they reflexively denied a permission and then couldn't figure out how to enable it later? It's a classic case of "design for the happy path, forget the recovery path." We need to do better here.
