# trackingAuthorizationStatus

The authorization status that is current for the calling application.

```
class var trackingAuthorizationStatus: ATTrackingManager.AuthorizationStatus { get }
```

## Return Value

Information about your application’s tracking authorization
status. Users are able to grant or deny developers tracking privileges on
a per-app basis. Application developers must call
`requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:` for the ability to
track users.

## Discussion

If the user has not yet been prompted to approve access, the return value
will either be `ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined`, or
`ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusRestricted` if this value is
managed. Once the user has been prompted, the return value will be either
`ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied` or
`ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusAuthorized`.

Use the [`trackingAuthorizationStatus`](/documentation/AppTrackingTransparency/ATTrackingManager/trackingAuthorizationStatus) property to check
authorization status.
