How to restrict a jive-sdk app to admins only?

pawans May 6, 2014 12:01 PM

Hi Friends,

Recently I have been exploring the apps using the new jive-sdk.

There is a lot of documentation available on this.

But I am a bit confused with some things I want to try.

Some of the things I need help are --

How to put an app in admin console?
If point (1) is not possible, how to make an app only visible to system admins?
I have a group level app. Is it possible to make it visible only to the group admin?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Pawan, long time no talk! =)

Let me see if I can get some of your questions answered fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, there are no app contributions available in the Admin Console, the best we have are extension points on the "Settings" screens reserved for Place Admins.
Currently, there is not a check for System Admins ... but this is something that is being discussed for the future roadmap.
Yes, per comments in 1, if you use the app contribution Place Configuration, this naturally aligns with that permission scope:
App Action Contribution Reference
Keep an eye out for upcoming webinar announcements and training curriculum around these topics.

    BTW, I meant to post this yesterday, but I added my admin-essentials add-on code to GitHub yesterday so you could see it in action. Simply grab the code and throw it into your own add-on, and you should be good. If you add any features/do any improvements, would appreciate a pull request to share with everyone =)
