# Granting Permissions

Before you can launch your booth, you must grant Simple Booth access to specific permissions on your iPad. These permissions allow the app to utilize the camera, save files, and record audio.

You will not be able to launch the booth until all required permissions are accepted. Note that some permissions may have already been granted while you were customizing your presets. If so, those items will not appear during the PreFlight check.

***

#### How to Grant Permissions

When the PreFlight screen identifies a required permission that has not yet been granted:

1. Tap **Continue** on the PreFlight screen.
2. An Apple system permission prompt will appear.
3. Choose **Allow** to grant access.

## Accidentally denied a permission?&#x20;

If you tap "Don’t Allow," the **Continue** button will change to **Open Settings**. Tapping this will take you directly to the Simple Booth section within your [iPad's Settings app](https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/find-settings-ipadba23b9b4/ipados), where you can manually enable the required permission.

After adjusting settings, return to the HALO app. The app will reload to your preset list, and you will need to relaunch your preset to complete the PreFlight check.&#x20;

#### Required Permissions

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Camera Access" %}
Simple Booth requires access to the iPad’s camera to capture photos and record video.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Photos Access" %}
Simple Booth needs permission to save captures to your iPad’s photo library.

**Note**: At this time, you must allow **Full Access**. Limited access is not currently supported, though we plan to add support for this in a future update.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Microphone Access" %}
You will only be prompted for microphone access if your current preset includes a video layout. This permission is required to record audio for video captures.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

***

#### Launching the Booth

Once all required permissions are granted and no blocking items remain, the Launch button will become available.

Before tapping launch, take a moment to review the rest of the PreFlight check. While some items (like battery levels or Wi-Fi status) may not prevent you from launching, they are important to monitor to ensure a smooth event experience.
