# Updating app permissions

Swarmia will occasionally request new Github permissions in order to implement new features. Accepting these permission requests is optional, but recommended so that you get the full benefit out of Swarmia.

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to be an admin of the Github organization to accept the permission request.
{% endhint %}

Administrators of the Github organization will get an email about the permission request where you can accept it:

Alternatively, if you are an administrator of the organization, you can also accept the permission request from your organization's Github apps settings:

After the permission has been granted, Swarmia will automatically get notified of it and will start using the new permissions automatically.
