App Manager: Sharing Apps

SOTI Snap can share apps in one of two methods:
  • Shared by many users with access to the same SOTI Snap channel/tenant.
  • Shared between more than one different SOTI Snap channels.
For a single SOTI Snap channel/tenant, sharing an app with other users enables you and them to develop an app collaboratively. Invite other users to your app using App Actions > Manage Access > Assign User to grant other users a role, choose from:
  • Viewer role for read privileges
  • Co-owner role for edit privileges
  • App Administrator role as an app owner.

See Managing Default Roles for further details.

Sharing apps between SOTI Snap channels reduces the effort to recreate identical or near-identical apps. Achieve this by creating shareable tokens that enables anyone else with the token to import the app into their SOTI Snap console.
Important: When you export an app, a shareable token links to a clone of the app, not the exported app itself. Any further changes to the exported app are not automatically copied to the token's snapshot clone. You need to create a new shareable token when you make further changes to the exported app.
Important: When you import an app, the imported app is a clone of the original exported app. Any changes to the imported app are not copied to the original exported app. Likewise, any changes to the original exported app are not copied to all existing imported apps.
