geolocation error - disabled by default (feature request)

[HERVEBONNEL]

I am trying to make an active map visual based on current position however a simple code in the constructor of a visual.ts requesting a geolocation results in error.

eg navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(console.log)

the log results in : "Geolocation error: Geolocation has been disabled in this document by permissions policy.." There seems no way to set the policy in capabilities.json or otherwise.

If the same code is run from the console, the script generates the location coords object.

Same issues with other CSP policies such as img-src to load external tiles. More granular set up of CSP policies and other policies such as geolocation could be useful.

Please help with any workaround or feature addition.

Hi @AleksSavelev, please let me know if there is workaround to this or possible to include feature. I tried API 5.3.0 and it s not working. I am wondering if the issue is with the encapsulation within the iframe which does not allow geolocalisation functions.

Hi @HERVEBONNEL, I'm sorry for the late response.

Try to add WebAccess to your privileges in capabilities.json

    "privileges": [
        {
            "name": "WebAccess",
            "parameters": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]

But for your information: It's restricted for certified visuals
