# hasAccess(to:in:)

Checks the specified URL against the currently granted permission match patterns in a specific tab.

## Declaration

```swift
func hasAccess(to url: URL, in tab: (any WKWebExtensionTab)?) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `url`: The URL for which to return the status.
- `tab`: The tab in which to return the permission status, or nil if the tab is not known or the global status is desired.

## Discussion

Discussion Some match patterns can be granted on a per-tab basis. When the tab is known, access checks should always use this method.
