# Managing Goose Permissions
Gooses **permissions** determine how much autonomy it has when modifying files, using extensions, and performing automated actions. By selecting a permission mode, you have full control over how Goose interacts with your development environment.
## Permission Modes
| Mode | Description | Best For |
|------------|------------|---------|
| **Auto Mode** | Goose can modify files, use extensions, and delete files **without requiring approval**. | Users who want **full automation** and seamless integration into their workflow. |
| **Approve Mode** | Goose **asks for confirmation** before modifying, creating, deleting files and before using extensions. | Users who want to **review and approve** changes and extension use before they happen. |
| **Chat Mode** | Goose **only engages in chat**, with no extension use or file modifications. | Users who prefer a **conversational AI experience** without automation. |
:::warning
`Auto Mode` is applied by default unless you specify otherwise.
