## Declaration

```swift
func permissionStatus(for pattern: WKWebExtension.MatchPattern) -> WKWebExtensionContext.PermissionStatus
```

## Discussion

Discussion Match patterns can be granted on a per-tab basis. When the tab is known, access checks should always use the method that checks in a tab.
