# denyConnection(fromPeer:)

Called by the delegate to reject a connection request received from a remote peer.

## Declaration

```swift
func denyConnection(fromPeer peerID: String!)
```

## Parameters

- `peerID`: The string identifying the peer that initiated the connection to the session.

## Discussion

Discussion When your session acts as a server, client peers can discover your session and attempt to connect to it. When a client attempts to connect to the session, the delegate’s session(_:didReceiveConnectionRequestFromPeer:) method is called to decide whether the peer should be connected. Your application calls this method to reject the request or acceptConnection(fromPeer:) to accept it.
