Zusammenfassung:	Installation data associated with a hardware device is obtained (e.g., at the time the device is installed on a computing device). Identifiers of applications that are allowed to access a capability of the hardware device are identified from the installation data and stored in a device permissions record as being allowed to access the capability of the hardware device. Subsequently, a request to access the capability of the hardware device is received from an application. A check is made as to whether the application is identified in a device permissions record as being allowed to access the capability of the hardware device. The application is allowed to access the capability of the hardware device if the device permissions record indicates the application is allowed to access the capability of the hardware device, and otherwise the request from the application is denied.
