What does group storage permission allow?

[KarenKeet]

I am installing a new clock face, and it is asking for group storage permission. I cannot seem to find an answer as to what exactly group storage is and why a clock face must have access to it – the clock face will not work unless I give it this permission. Thanks for your help!

@KarenKeet   What is the name of the clock face?  Does it show things that aren't on a typical clock face (steps, calories, etc.)  Fitbit's Permission Guide for developers mentions cluster storage to share information between applications and clock faces, but not group storage.

It is called Oblivion by Lignite- if I don’t select Group Storage it won’t load

@KarenKeet   I'm pretty sure that group storage is the same as cluster storage described in that developer's guide.  That clock face has weather information.  It has to "get" the Information from somewhere.  You also need Location so it can get the weather information.

Thanks. I don’t select weather as an option on the face but I understand the logic
