How to Share an Internal App With the Right Roles

To share an internal app with roles, you add each role and choose its access level: interaction, which allows viewing and filling, or full control, which allows editing the app itself.

Why access decisions get postponed

Sharing is often the last step of building an app, and by then nobody wants to think about it — so apps end up either too open or too closed.

  • Whole teams unable to use an app because nobody granted access
  • Editing rights handed out to avoid asking again later
  • No clear distinction between using an app and changing it
  • Access managed one person at a time instead of by role

How to configure it in Jestor

  1. Open the app in Jestor and go to the share option.
  2. Add the role that needs access — finance, operations, or any other.
  3. Choose interact for people who will use the app.
  4. Choose full control only for those who should be able to edit it.
  5. Add further roles as needed, and save.

Why choose Jestor for access management?

Jestor manages access by role rather than by individual, so a new hire inherits the right access from their role instead of needing a separate configuration.

The super root role always appears in the access list because it has access to everything. The recommendation is to keep at most one or two people in a company with that level of power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share with several roles at once?

Yes, roles are added individually and saved together.
