# @ohos.privacyManager (Privacy Management) The **privacyManager** module provides APIs for privacy management, such as management of permission usage records. > **NOTE** > > - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. > - The APIs provided by this module are system APIs. ## Modules to Import ```js import privacyManager from '@ohos.privacyManager'; ``` ## privacyManager.addPermissionUsedRecord addPermissionUsedRecord(tokenID: number, permissionName: Permissions, successCount: number, failCount: number): Promise<void> Adds a permission usage record when an application protected by the permission is called by another service or application. This API uses a promise to return the result. The permission usage record includes the application identity (token ID) of the invoker, name of the permission used, and number of successful and failed accesses to the target application. **Required permissions**: ohos.permission.PERMISSION_USED_STATS (available only to system applications) **System capability**: SystemCapability.Security.AccessToken **Parameters** | Name | Type | Mandatory| Description | | -------- | ------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------ | | tokenID | number | Yes | Application token ID of the invoker. The value can be obtained from [ApplicationInfo](js-apis-bundle-ApplicationInfo.md). | | permissionName | Permissions | Yes | Name of the permission.| | successCount | number | Yes | Number of successful accesses.| | failCount | number | Yes | Number of failed accesses.| **Return value** | Type | Description | | :------------ | :---------------------------------- | | Promise<void> | Promise that returns no value.| **Error codes** For details about the error codes, see [Ability Access Control Error Codes](../errorcodes/errorcode-access-token.md). | ID| Error Message| | -------- | -------- | | 12100001 | The parameter is invalid.
