+<p>
+ The N Developer Preview includes the following changes to permissions.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="GET_ACCOUNTS">GET_ACCOUNTS deprecated</h2>
+<p>
+  The <code>GET_ACCOUNTS</code> permission is now deprecated. The system ignores
+  this permission for apps that target the N Developer Preview.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="storage">New storage option: ACTION_OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY</h2>
+
+<p>
+  Apps can now use the intent <code>ACTION_OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY</code> to
+  request that the system create a directory for the app's use. The system
+  prompts the user to grant approval. If the user approves, the app can read
+  and write files and directories in that one directory (and its descendants).
+  The app does not need {@link android.Manifest.permission_group#STORAGE
+  STORAGE} permissions to access this external directory.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  For more information about this intent, see the <code>Intent</code>
+  documentation in the <!--TODO: Add link to preview download page-->N Preview
+  SDK Reference.
