How do I deny an app access to a resource?

[AC Question]

how do I deny an app access to a resource

For example, I wish to download and play a game on my LG or Samsung; the game wants access to my contacts or GP location; I wish to not allow the game designer the right to spam my contacts, or determine where I am when playing the game. Apple's OS allows the phone's resources to be turned off or on for each app; the Android OS just tells you what the resource does. Perhaps I don't want my medication tracker to have access to my credit card, because I don't want it to automatically refill a Rx.

Welcome to Android Central! That isn't possible yet--it's all or none. More granular permission controls are coming with Android M: App Permissions are getting a massive overhaul in Android M | Android Central

Quick short cut manger. Read instructions. I think I got it from xda. Been using it for 3 weeks on new LG G4. It works. Running lollipop 5.1.1 with no problems. I'm not rooted. Yet. This does what app opps used to do
