Control Application Permissions

Control application permissions with the Permission tab. This defines which applications are editable, and which are read-only. This is the context in which you can access the application.

Permissions can be set to one of the following:
  • System: This permission belongs to an application provided with the product , and does not allow any changes to it. Clone an application with the System permission, and then assign to it an alternative permission.
  • Full Access.

  • Hidden. Use this permission for an application that is not included in the list of applications.

    Note: The application still exists and is available from the appropriate URL, for example, http://localhost:9999/apps/visibleTest/index.html.
  • Read-only.
  • Library. Use this permission for common files and folders that different applications may require. Library applications are hidden by default. They are not available on the applications page.
Note: To create the Library permission, edit the ApplicationName.app.desc.json file, and add the line "library":true. The Library permission is optional, so if it is false, do not add a second Library permission. 
{
"indexPage":"small/index.html",
"configPage":"small/small.config.json",
"library":true
}

Use the following procedure to change the permission to Library from Permission.

Procedure

  1. Select Permission.
  2. Select to edit permissions.
  3. Select the application whose permissions you want to edit.
  4. Select the Library permission from the list.
  5. Click SAVE PERMISSIONS.
    After the Save Permissions Successful! dialog box, return to the Applications list. The application no longer appears in the list. To reinstate it, change the permission again to either Read-Only or Full Access.
