Windows 10: I accidentally gave permissions to a program, and I only vaguely remember the name of that...

Windows suddenly popped up the notification of a program trying to access some permissions on my computer and I accidentally clicked allow.

Where can I find the place where I can check the individual programs that I had the permissions given to them?

And also is there a way to quickly check the recent permissions given to the programs?
