App permissions on your device

App permissions on your device

General

To use certain features in BauMaster, you need to grant BauMaster access permissions on your device. This is typically configured in the app permissions on your device.

For Android users: Change app permissions on an Android smartphone - Android HelpFor iOS users: Manage access to information in apps on iPhone - Apple Support (DE)

There you can choose which functions of your device you want to allow permissions for - e.g. your camera. Only if you grant these permissions will the function - e.g. taking photos - be available to you in BauMaster.

Notifications

If you want to be informed about project updates with push notifications, you need to grant BauMaster permission to do so.

Notifications inform you about changes to entries, tasks, and more - depending on the project manager's settings.

Camera

To take photos directly via BauMaster, you must also grant BauMaster access to your device's camera function.

If you grant BauMaster access to your gallery or photos, BauMaster will automatically save the photos taken in your phone gallery.

Tip: This can be quite helpful in case of problems to quickly restore data and photos in BauMaster!

BauMaster only has write permission for your photos. This means we don't "read" photos from your device, we only add photos. The only exception is when you manually upload photos from your device's gallery, then you logically transmit these to BauMaster.

Microphone

To use voice recording for tasks and entries in BauMaster, you must grant BauMaster access to your device's microphone function.

  1. Dictation
  2. Converting speech to text

Location

To locate photos on a map in BauMaster and take photos with embedded GPS coordinates via BauMaster, you must grant BauMaster access to the GPS function of your device.

AlertNote: Location can also be generally disabled/enabled for all apps in the privacy settings, and may potentially be disabled. In this case, despite permission in the app settings, you will still not receive GPS location for your photos.
