I need an admin only app settings screen. A screen where admins can administer the settings in the app, and it’s not displayed to non-admins.
Right now, I have an app settings screen, but have to check the JWT payload for "is_admin": false and then block access for non-admins with a 401 and a friendly “you are not allowed here” blocking message.
The other annoyance about the current situation is that whenever someone views the settings for a board or item view, there’s a great big button that says “Go to App Settings”:
The button is displayed to everyone, whether I let them have access to this screen, or not.
I’d rather that it was not displayed at all for non-admins, and I don’t really want to admins to see it all the time either, as it’s easy to train users to go to:
I would second this. Ideally there should be a way for admins to grant access to it to non-admin users though. I know a lot of enterprise orgs where managing an apps settings would not be in the realm of the admins who manage users and security, and the users manage their boards etc.
@anon29275264 thats interesting, and I’ve built apps on other platforms where you can specify the visibility of the app feature based on the group membership of the end user. If a user is a member of groups x or y, then the feature is available.
I think the monday app features are probably a long way from being able to achieve that just yet, but it would be an excellent further improvement to the apps framework.
I do want to hop in to this conversation and mention that on the “Administration” > “Apps” page, for every app there is a settings button. However we’ve not been able to get this settings button to work.
Since this administration page is already hidden from normal users, it would be a great place to have the administration only app settings show up, instead of the marketplace app settings page.
Would you be able to please fill this form (Submit a request – Support) adding as much information as possible into exactly what you need to achieve and what for?
