# Why does the SDK report success when user denies permissions?

**This is intended behaviour.** Once the permission screen has been raised, the connection is treated as a success regardless of which permissions the user granted, on both Android and iOS/Apple Health. There's no reliable way to know what a user approved, and failing would leak that information.

**Don't rely on the connection result.** Instead, **request data and check what actually arrives** to determine which permissions were granted.

See [permissions mapping](https://docs.tryterra.co/reference/health-and-fitness-api/sdk-references/permissions-mapping) for what each permission covers.
