You open the API Permissions properties page by choosing File > <active project name> Properties. In the Project Properties dialog, select Application Descriptor and expand API Permissions.

If you are setting the properties for a other than the default configuration (DefaultConfiguration), you must uncheck the Use Values from "DefaultConfiguration" checkbox at the top of the page to customize these options.
