**Procedure**:

1. Request the foreground location permissions in the dialog box. You can request either of the following permissions:
   - Request [ohos.permission.APPROXIMATELY_LOCATION](#ohospermissionapproximately_location).
   - Request [ohos.permission.APPROXIMATELY_LOCATION](#ohospermissionapproximately_location) and [ohos.permission.LOCATION](#ohospermissionlocation).
2. After the user grants the foreground location permissions, display a message to direct the user to go to the **Settings** screen to grant the ohos.permission.LOCATION_IN_BACKGROUND permission.
3. The permission is granted to the application if the user selects **Always allow** on the **Settings** screen.

   Paths:
   <!--RP1-->
   - Path 1: **Settings** > **Privacy** > **Permission manager** > **Permissions** > **Location** > *Target application*
