1. A method at a communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a hardware processor of the communication device, a request for changing a location-related setting on the communication device;
receiving descriptive data comprising an indication of an intended use of the location-related setting by at least one application executable on the communication device;
outputting at least one notification descriptive of the request;
receiving, via a user interface of the communication device, at least one user input; and
as a result of receiving the at least one user input, changing, by the hardware processor, the location-related setting in accordance with the request,the at least one notification including an explanation of the request based on the descriptive data, the explanation describing at least the intended use.

Abstract
A communication device includes a display screen upon which information is displayed. A microprocessor configured to execute at least one notification program is provided that displays a notification descriptive of an access control request on the display screen. The at least one notification program is programmed to receive data indicative of an access control request and to receive data descriptive of the access control request. Additionally, the at least one notification program is further programmed to display a notification indicative of the access control request and comprising an explanation of the access control request based on the received descriptive data.
