@TheMunk Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This must have been a typo that was introduced when we update the Permissions API.

The first one is correct when using the Request Permission API. The `MLResult` describes the status of the request and not the status of the permission it self. It will return `MLResult.Code.InvalidParam`, ` MLResult.Code.Ok` or `MLResult.Code.Pending`

If the requested permission name is blank, if the request was successful and completed or it is waiting for a user's response.

If you are using the Check Permissions API to see if the permission was granted without the callbacks ` MLResult CheckPermission(string permission)` The information in the second image is correct.

We will make the changes on our developer portal to make this more clear.
