Managing app visibility by using security groups

Jive let you limit the visibility of an app by using security groups.

Fastpath

User interface: Your avatar > Add-ons

You can specify one or more security groups whose users can see a particular app on the Add-ons tab. This functionality is only available for apps you have installed.

To change the visibility of an app:

  1. In the user interface, click on your avatar in the upper right corner, and then click Add-ons.

  2. On the Add-ons tab, select All Add-ons > Installed.

  3. Click the gear icon next to the add-on containing the desired app and select Settings.

  4. Click the gear icon in the App Security column of the row containing the app you want to manage. The Manage App Security Groups dialog appears.

  5. If you don't have security groups already specified for this purpose, in the Admin Console, create those groups.

    After creating security groups, return to App Security for this app.

  6. Type the first few letters of the name of the security group whose users should see this app. When the correct security group appears in the dropdown list, select it.

  7. Repeat the previous step until all security groups are specified.

  8. Click Save Changes.

Once security groups are associated with an app, only users within those security groups can see the app. The app is not available to other users.
