Tauri Capabilities Configuration
Capabilities are Tauri's permission management system that granularly controls which APIs and commands the frontend can access. They define security boundaries by specifying which permissions apply to which windows or webviews.
What Are Capabilities?
Capabilities serve as the bridge between permissions and windows/webviews. They:
- Define which permissions are granted or denied for specific windows
- Enable developers to minimize the impact of frontend compromises
- Create security boundaries based on window labels (not titles)
- Support platform-specific targeting (desktop vs mobile)
Capability File Location
Capability files reside in src-tauri/capabilities/ and use JSON or TOML format.
