Office 365 asking for permissions to change browser settings - Lemmy.World

I have to use certain Microsoft apps for work, so I strictly only use the web versions as I am on Linux. However, just seen this setting pop up in Word while working on a document. I wonder what in specific they would change, considering i am on Firefox. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there an actual good reason for me to allow this, and if did what would it change?

Just in general, if any app or platform or website prompts you to allow them access to something out of the blue, and there’s no obvious benefit or reason why you would need that, don’t grant it.
Thank you for your service!
