App Permissions

With Appetize's app permissions, users can manage who has access to their app, can debug apps or view network traffic logs and more.

Who can run your app

App Identifier Link

See Sharing App Identifier Links.

By default, only users linked to your organization and signed in to Appetize will have access to your App Identifier link.

Build Identifier Link

See Sharing Build Identifier Links.

By default, anybody who has your app's Build Identifier link, i.e. its buildId (previously known as publicKey), will have permission to run your app.

Some customers want to restrict access, so that only authenticated users may run their app. For this purpose, we have a configuration option which can be set at either the organization level or the app build level.

Organization Session Default Permissions

Set and control default session permissions across your organization by navigating to Organization -> Session Defaults.

Example Organization App Build Permissions

App Build Permissions

App Build Permissions will override Organization Session Default Permissions. We recommend using Organization Session Default Permissions. In the future we will introduce more granular ways to provide permissions for your apps.

For the app-level setting, navigate to your Dashboard, select your preferred app and then select the build you want to change permissions for:

Select the build you want to apply permission to

and finally configure the option under Settings > App Permissions.

App Level Permissions can also be applied when uploading the app via our REST API. See Create new app and Update existing app for more information.

Example App Build Level Permissions
