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.

Setting the Allowed Apps for a Plug-in

You need to specify allowed apps or spaces on a per-plug-in basis.
By default, plug-ins are allowed to be used by all apps.

Apps and spaces that can be specified

Kintone Users & System Administrators and Kintone Administrators can specify the following apps and spaces to be allowed.
Note, however, that it is not possible to specify apps that belong to a Private app group and were created by another user.

  • Kintone Users & System Administrators

    • All apps and spaces
  • Kintone Administrators

    • Apps for which they have app management permission, record viewing permission, or record adding permission
    • Public spaces, private spaces of which they are members, and guest spaces of which they are members
      For information on permissions, refer to the following pages.

      If you have already allowed apps and spaces to use the plug-in, they will be displayed in the list of allowed apps and spaces.
      However, apps and spaces for which the logged-in user does not have relevant permissions will not be displayed.
      If there are any apps or spaces for which the logged-in user does not have relevant permissions, the following message appears: "Some apps or spaces cannot be displayed with your current permissions."

Steps

The steps to specify apps and spaces on the "Allowed Apps for Plug-in" screen are as follows.

  1. Select App or Space from the drop-down list.

    • App: This option lets you add one allowed app at a time.
    • Space: This option lets you allow all of the apps that belong to a space to use the plug-in.
      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.
  2. In the search box, enter part of the name of the app or space that you want to specify, then select the app or space from the suggestions that appear.
