Apps in groups
Build an app for a group
Section titled “Build an app for a group”On the group’s shelf, press Create app for group. Studio opens, and the
app is shared into the group the first time it’s saved, so members see it
on the shelf straight away.
Share an existing app into a group
Section titled “Share an existing app into a group”The app’s owner adds groups from the share sheet: type
the group’s name into Add people by email, username or group. Choose the
group’s role:
| Group role | Members can |
|---|---|
Can view |
Open the app read-only |
Can use |
Use it fully — add and change data (default) |
Can edit |
Also open it in Studio and publish new versions |
One app can be in many groups. Every group gets the same app with the same data — people in two groups see one shared set of data, not two.
Who can add apps
Section titled “Who can add apps”Group owners can set which members can add apps to their group; members below that bar use the group’s apps read-only and can’t publish new ones there.
Remove an app from a group
Section titled “Remove an app from a group”The app’s owner removes a group from the share sheet with
Remove group access. A group’s owner and admins can also take an app off
their shelf: “The app and its data stay with the owner.”
