# AccessoryFeatureAuthorizationStatus

A status that describes whether the system authorizes a feature for an accessory.

```
enum AccessoryFeatureAuthorizationStatus
```

## Overview

The system returns [`AccessoryFeatureAuthorizationStatus.unknown`](/documentation/AccessoryTransportExtension/AccessoryFeatureAuthorizationStatus/unknown) until your app enrolls the feature for the accessory. Subsequent calls return the recorded status.

Read the status with `AccessoryWorker/authorizationStatus(for:)` or `AccessoryGPUWorker/authorizationStatus(for:)` and enroll the feature with a matching `requestAuthorization(for:)` method.

## Topics
