Sharing an app

Move your data app into a space so others in your organization can use it.

While you’re building a data app, it lives in your personal workspace and is only visible to you. To share it with other people in your organization, move the app into a space.

Move an app to a space

1. Open the app you want to share.
2. Click Move to space (or use the app’s options menu).
3. Select the space you want to move the app into and confirm.

Once the app is in a space, it behaves like any other piece of content in that space.

How permissions work after sharing

Once your app is in a space, it follows the same rules as charts and dashboards in that space:

• Access is controlled by the space’s access settings. Anyone who can access the space can open the app; users who can’t access the space can’t see it.
• Editing follows space roles. Users with edit access on the space can update or remove the app; viewers can use it but can’t change it.
• Data permissions still apply on every query. When a user opens the app, all of its queries are executed using their permissions—their role, group memberships, and user attributes—not yours. People only ever see data they’re allowed to see, even when using an app someone else built.
