Hi

Your snap is stuck in review because it is using privileged interfaces, in particular system-files and kernel-module-control.

human review required due to 'allow-installation' constraint (bool) declaration-snap-v2_plugs_installation (vhci-sysfs, system-files)
human review required due to 'allow-installation' constraint (bool) declaration-snap-v2_plugs_installation (virtual-cables-service, kernel-module-control)

These are very sensitive and can grant device ownership so you need to explain why they are required. In particular you should also detail the exact parameters for system-files (ie the paths and permissions).

Also kernel-module-control grants the ability to load and kernel module - if your snap definitely needs to load certain modules you should instead look at the kernel-module-load interface which can be scoped to particular modules.

Thanks

Hello @twasfy :slight_smile:

Building on @alexmurray’s comment, the blocking interfaces are considered super-privileged. If your snap legitimately requires this access, please follow the process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks and create a post in the ‘store-requests’ category requesting its use.
