From the command line you can see the interfaces used by a snap package with snap connections, and then connect/disconnect specific plugs using snap connect and `snap disconnect. @hellsworth, do you know any GUI-based application to do that?
$ snap connections dosbox-x

thanks but it is. not what i was looking for we reaally need a snapseal app like flatseal.
For a GUI Application that manages Snap Package permissions, you can use Ubuntu Software - I get that this isn’t very convenient if you’re not using Ubuntu. Unfortunately, that’s the only GUI I know of to do so.

@lucyllewy is right, Ubuntu Software and Snap Store have a “permissions” button that can be easier to use than managing connections from the command line:
just a note that the snap-store is a snap so you can run it on non-ubuntu systems just fine to manage your permissions via GUI …

i use commend line for snap snap store is not that good does not support flatpak or deb .rpm apps actually.
it does support debian packages as well as snaps (and is the default package manager GUI app on all recent Ubuntu releases)
I’m bumping this thread to point out that neither the snap store nor the software center have permission settings from what I can tell in hopes that there are alternatives.

Have you ever clicked the “Permissions” button in the snap-store app when on the details page of an installed snap ? Does it not show you all the permissions for the app like it does for everyone else? Then you should open an issue at:
FWIW I have snap permissions visible in gnome-control-center aka “Settings”. The UI is very similar to Flatseal. It seems to match the command-line output apart from “content” entries, as well as “unity7”, “wayland” and “x11” (redundant info?).
I don’t know why Bitwarden needs audio permissions

Since when does the App Center have permissions button.
And if it does then why there is this issue open:
You are indeed correct, i missed that i’m tracking the preview/edge channel over here
~$ snap info snap-store|grep tracking
tracking: preview/edge
