What Studio’s “Allow” prompts mean, and how to undo “Deny”
Why the Bricklayer plugin asks for permission the first time it runs, why it is safe, and how to fix it if you clicked Deny.
Updated November 8, 2026
The first time the Bricklayer plugin runs, Roblox Studio asks you to approve two things. Click Allow for both.
What each one is for
| Prompt | Why Bricklayer needs it |
|---|---|
| Permission to change scripts (often called script injection) | So scripts edited in Bricklayer can be written into your place, and Studio edits can flow back. |
| Permission to make requests to your own computer (localhost) | So the plugin can talk to Bricklayer Editor running on the same machine. |
Is it safe?
The plugin only talks to Bricklayer Editor on your own computer, not to the internet. The scripts it writes are the ones you approved in Bricklayer. Studio asks for these permissions for any plugin that does this kind of work. It is not a sign that something is wrong.
I clicked Deny
Nothing is broken. Studio just remembers your answer. To change it:
- Open Studio's Plugins tab.
- Open Manage Plugins.
- Find Bricklayer and turn its permissions back on.
- Click Connect in the Bricklayer toolbar, or restart Studio.
If you cannot find the setting, reinstalling the plugin also works: run Bricklayer: Install Studio Plugin from the Command Palette, restart Studio, and click Allow this time.
