The SMART on FHIR v1 IG has been widely adopted for clinician- and patient-facing app integration into EHRs and other FHIR data systems. Based on community feedback, the Argonaut Project has undertaken a 2020 effort to revise and improve the SMART App Launch IG. A key area of focus in adding support for "granular permissions," e.g. to provide access to resources at the category level in addition to the type level. This would allow apps to request narrower access, like "all vital signs" rather than "all observations."
