Why does SM need access to device contacts?

[Fiza]

When I deploy SM to an Android device it asks for access to contacts. If I deny then SM does not go any further. if I allow then it gives me a list of Accounts on the device to choose from to bind SM to.

Not sure sorry, I suggest you open a case with support and if you find out let us know what the answer is.
