This authorization grants applications the ability to access the system’s log data. These logs contain diagnostic information, error messages, and potentially sensitive data generated by the Android operating system and installed applications. For example, a debugging tool might request this access to diagnose application crashes.
The capacity to examine system logs is crucial for application debugging, performance monitoring, and security auditing. Historically, this level of access was more freely available. However, due to privacy concerns and potential misuse, access is now restricted and requires explicit declaration in the application manifest and user consent.
