Permissions-Policy: publickey-credentials-create directive

{{SeeCompatTable}} 

The HTTP {{HTTPHeader("Permissions-Policy")}}  header publickey-credentials-create directive controls whether the current document is allowed to use the Web Authentication API to create new WebAuthn credentials, i.e., via {{domxref("CredentialsContainer.create","navigator.credentials.create({publicKey})")}} .

Specifically, where a defined policy blocks use of this feature, the {{jsxref("Promise")}}  returned by navigator.credentials.create({publicKey}) will reject with a NotAllowedError {{domxref("DOMException")}} . If the method is called cross-origin, the {{jsxref("Promise")}}  will also reject with a NotAllowedError if the feature is granted by allow= on an iframe and the frame does not also have {{glossary("Transient activation")}} .
