For an to have a feature enabled its allowed origin must also be in the allowlist for the parent page. Because of this inheritance behavior, it is a good idea to specify the widest acceptable support for a feature in the HTTP header, and then specify the subset of support you need in each . To allow all origins access to geolocation, you would do this To apply a policy to the current origin and others, you'd do this This is important: By default, if an navigates to another origin, the policy is not applied to the origin that the navigates to. By listing the origin that the navigates to in the allow attribute, the Permissions Policy that was applied to the original will be applied to the origin the navigates to. Several features can be controlled at the same time by including a semi-colon-separated list of policy directives inside the allow attribute. It is worth giving the src value a special mention. We mentioned above that using this allowlist value will mean that the associated feature will be allowed in this , as long as the document loaded into it comes from the same origin as the URL in its {{HTMLElement('iframe','src','#Attributes')}} attribute. This value is the _default_ allowlist value for features listed in allow, so the following are equivalent Attribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
