Developer details

Auto-connect: no
Super-privileged: yes

snap-refresh-control is a marker interface (with no associated AppArmor or Seccomp rules).

Currently it allows connected snaps to execute snapctl refresh --proceed to unblock pending refreshes outside of the context of the gate-auto-refresh hook. This interface should be used with caution.
