Permission request messages for Thunderbird extensions
In our work we use the cardbook extension; starting from version 95.2 it began asking the user for permission. I wouldn’t really like to explain to a crowd of users what to do with this request. Is there some way to grant these permissions without asking the user for them?

Addons are developed by individuals, not Mozilla. I suggest you contact the developer.
I understand this, but here the question is rather not in a specific extension, but in the WebExtension API that the extensions use. And is there a way to grant these permissions to the extension in advance without asking the user for them?

I believe you can use group policies on Windows. But it is not something I am really au fait with. I would suggest your query might get more useful responses in the enterprise mailing list. in particular you might want to look to this thread. https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/enterprise/Tca612a40e26047fa/give-permissions-to-extensions-installed-using-policies-json-enterprise-policy

I studied all the parameters, but did not find which of them can help me (https://thunderbird.github.io/policy-templates/templates/central/).

I saw this topic, I even wrote in it, but they are not in a hurry to help.
