Prompting Client

Prompting Client lets Ubuntu Desktop users control how applications access system resources through prompting workflows. It works with Security Center, linking its prompts to that security-focused software so users can handle resource-access decisions from the desktop. The client concentrates on prompting rather than presenting itself as a complete security suite.

It is intended for desktop users who run it together with Security Center, particularly when application access needs to be addressed within that security workflow. Someone choosing it for security and privacy work gets a dedicated prompting client rather than software that tries to bundle an entire security suite into one application. Its typical role is to serve as the control point for resource-access prompts on an Ubuntu desktop, with Security Center forming part of the connected workflow.

Canonical publishes Prompting Client under an open-source license. It requires Linux and snapd, and targets the x86_64 (amd64) architecture. The software is designed for Linux users who want to use its prompting functions alongside Security Center. The current version is 0+git.dd8c750.
