Allow users to create apps that do not belong to any space
This is a setting option that enables you to configure whether to allow users to create apps that do not belong to any space.
Apps are placed either on Portal (top page) or in a space. "Apps that do not belong to any space" refer to the apps that are placed on Portal.
- If you check this check box:
Users can create both apps that belong to a space (in-space apps) and those that do not belong to any space.
- If you uncheck this check box:
Users are only able to create apps that belong to a space (in-space apps). Users cannot create apps that do not belong to any space. Unchecking this check box will not affect existing apps.
Related information: App groups when "Allow users to create apps that do not belong to any space" is disabled
An app group is always set for an app. When you create an app, the app group specified as the Default App Group is automatically set for the app, though it is also possible to change the app group for this app. However, the "Public" app group is always set for the apps that belong to a space (in-space apps), and you cannot change the app group for these apps.
If you uncheck Allow users to create apps that do not belong to any space, users will only be able to create apps that belong to a space (in-space apps). This means that apps created will always belong to the "Public" app group, and you cannot change the app group for the apps. In other words, if you uncheck Allow users to create apps that do not belong to any space, it means that you will not allow users to create apps that do not belong to the "Public" app group (including the apps that belong to the "Private" app group).
If you are using some apps that belong to an app group other than the "Public" app group, please take this into consideration before configuring the setting.
