I am trying to figure out how to check to see if the app has access to the file system using a program

@Paul Ryan Based on the file access permissions, a UWP application can access application install directory, application data locations, removable devices and user’s Downloads folder by using corresponding APIs without any extra operation. In addition, a UWP application can access Music library, Pictures library, Videos library by declaring corresponding capability in manifest file. You could check that if the location you want to access is in the above locations.
Could you please tell me which location you want to access if that location is not mentioned in the above document?
Globally, it is stored in the registry, at :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\broadFileSystemAccess
You can see : File access permissions for different locations
I am looking to see if I can see if the "AZURE" app has full access to the filesystem via a program , I can have the program open the window I believe that I cannot turn this off or on via a program
