The notifications are given by "Permission reminders - Permission controller" and cannot be switched off (the toggle is greyed out).

Every day, I get a notification about the same apps that I've already dismissed and it's getting very annoying now.
I know it's a security feature and android has to cater for the "dumbest" user but I know what apps I have installed and I trust them.
Some examples are Nova Launcher, Toast Source and Fingerprint Swipes.
Of course Nova launcher needs full device access. Otherwise how is it gonna show notification badges or allow gesture control.
Unfortunately, it's android 13 and toast notifications still have free reign over the device and is not captured in notification history. Some apps still use toast notifications and some are very badly coded that it spams it. It's sometimes difficult to pinpoint which app is giving toast notifications so I use Toast Source, a super useful app that will tell me which app is giving toast notifications. So of course this app needs full device access because it needs to be able to read notifications.
Fingerprint Swipes allows remapping the fingerprint sensor to do different actions on swipe down or up. It even allows swiping sideways for more actions. Of course this needs full device access to do these actions.

Every day, my device tells me "Nova as full device access. Do you want to review permissions?", "Toast Source as full device access. Do you want to review permissions?", "Fingerprint Swipes has full device access. Do you want to review permissions?" and this is getting very old very quickly and extremely annoying.

Is there a way to disable these notifications?

SOLVED: 3rd party app called TidyPanel Notification Blocker.

Hmm I haven't thought of doing it that way. I have a habit of pressing the gear icon and turning it off from there. I'll try your method next time it pops up (probably soon lol). Thanks :)

long-press that notification, then "turn off notifications", switch off "permission reminders", apply? wasn’t greyed out here:
Ok so I haven't had the chance to reply because I was away on holiday but this is what I get. "These notifications can't be modified". :(

This also doesn't work for me. "These notifications can't be modified."

Anyone have an alternative solution?

I had the same problem on my Pixel 5, caused by using the Dashlane app. I may have found a way to disable the daily hassle notification without use of a 3rd party app.

Settings > Notifications > App Settings > Change drop-down from Most Recent to All Apps > tap 3 dots in upper right and change to "Show System" > Scroll way down to (or search for) "Permission Controller."

There's a slider there that allows you to turn off all notifications from the Permission Controller, but based on what I've found out about what it does, it may not be a good idea to turn them off completely. However, if instead of turning off the slider, you just tap on the words "Permission Controller" you get shown a few more options.

I didn't disable all notifications, but the second item under "Other" said Permission Reminders (about 1 notification per day.) I disabled that as well as the item below it (Allow notification dot) and so far the problem seems to be solved.

I had so hoped this would work on my Pixel 7 but the "Permission reminders" toggle under Other is also grayed out and could not by turned off. Has anyone else found a solution to this annoying daily reminder? Thanks

followed this but could not toggle Perm Reminders, only the Notification Dot.
