Python winrt how to get notification listener permission?

Question

How is it possible to get needed permission for a notification listener from winrt in python? The following code immediately returns "denied" without any sort of windows prompt showing up:

import asyncio
import winrt.windows.ui.notifications.management as management

async def main():
    listener = management.UserNotificationListener.current
    access_result = await listener.request_access_async()
    print(access_result) #prints 2: denied

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Naturally then it is impossible to do anything useful with the notification listener which is a problem.

I ran this code from cmd with python 3.11.4 and winrt 2.0.0b2

The docs mention adding the permission to the manifest for c# apps, but how would this work for winrt-python?

Turns out this maybe should have been over on another stack exchange because the solution was indeed just finding the windows setting buried in the menu: Privacy > Notifications > User notification access

You have to evidently turn on the option to allow you to turn on the feature (created by the department of redundancy department I'm sure).
