# setPermissionStatus(_:for:expirationDate:)

Sets the status of a match pattern with a specific expiration date.

## Declaration

```swift
func setPermissionStatus(_ status: WKWebExtensionContext.PermissionStatus, for pattern: WKWebExtension.MatchPattern, expirationDate: Date?)
```

## Parameters

- `status`: The new permission status to set for the given match pattern.
- `pattern`: The match pattern for which to set the status.
- `expirationDate`: The expiration date for the new permission status, or nil for distant future.

## Discussion

Discussion This method will update grantedPermissionMatchPatterns and deniedPermissionMatchPatterns. Use this method for changing a single match pattern’s status. Passing a nil expiration date will be treated as a distant future date. Only WKWebExtensionContext.PermissionStatus.deniedExplicitly, WKWebExtensionContext.PermissionStatus.unknown, and WKWebExtensionContext.PermissionStatus.grantedExplicitly states are allowed to be set using this method.
