Setting the Allowed Apps for a Plug-in

Article Number:040832

You can set which Kintone apps are allowed to be used with each plug-in. Specifying the apps that are allowed to use a plug-in prevents the plug-in from being used by other apps.
This feature is useful when you want to allow a plug-in to be used only by apps for which its use has been requested, or when you want to test out using a certain plug-in with a specific app.
To use this feature, you need Kintone administrative permission.

Allowed apps are specified on a per-plug-in basis.
You can also specify a space to allow all of the apps that belong to that space. When you specify a space, any apps that are added to the space later on will also be able to use the plug-in. However, if an app is moved from a specified space to a destination that has not been allowed to use the relevant plug-in, that app will no longer be able to use the plug-in.
Specifying a space can be useful when you have spaces that are used for specific departments or projects and you want a plug-in to only be used for a certain department or project.

By default, plug-ins are allowed to be used by all apps.

The steps to set the allowed apps for a plug-in are as follows.

  1. Click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon at the top of Kintone), then select Kintone Administration.
