Sharing a model-driven app

Model-driven apps rely on security roles to control access to the app. The app must be assigned to one or more security roles. If a user does not have the security role that has been assigned to the app, they will not be able to use the app.

After creating the app, you should select the app in the maker portal and click on Share. You then select the security roles for the app and click on Share again. You can now share the app with users and teams.

In this section, you have learned how to create an app, configure the sitemap, add components and assets to the app, and then share the app so that the app can be run by users.

We will now look at customizing the components, starting with forms.
