Sharing and visibility

Sharing requires an online App and a signed-in account with permission to manage its access. Visibility controls how people discover or request the App; roles control what members can do inside it.

  1. Open the App’s Dashboard.
  2. Open Access & sharing in its settings.
  3. Choose the visibility appropriate for the App and save the change.

An online App starts Private, accessible to its owner. Prototype enables sharing with other Flow-Like users and unlocks the Team area. Public Request and Public support the App Store publication path. Changing visibility does not give every member permission to edit Flows or data.

  1. With the App at least Prototype, open Team. The page is titled Access.
  2. Use Invite people for a direct invitation, or open Invites & links to create and manage invitation links.
  3. Choose the intended access and any available limits before sharing a link.
  4. Check People after the invitation is accepted and review the member’s assigned role.

The Access workspace for managing App members and invitations

The Access sections have different jobs:

SectionUse it to
PeopleInspect current members and their roles.
Join requestsReview people asking to join; approval uses the default role.
Invites & linksInvite users and manage reusable invitation links.
API keysIssue and manage programmatic App access.
Connected appsReview access relationships with other Apps.

The screen reports when your role cannot read or change a section. Missing permission is different from an empty list.

Enable Developer Mode to see Roles in the App navigation. Open it to create roles, choose permissions and attributes, and set the default role for new members. Owners and authorized administrators should review that default before inviting a group.

The Roles page with an expanded role and permission levels for team access, data, workflows, and Events

For example, permission to invoke an Event does not necessarily include permission to read or edit its Flow. Local execution needs enough access to load the Flow; see execution permissions.

Set the App’s display version and changelog under Dashboard → Pricing & release. That version is release metadata. To keep a live interface on tested logic, pin its Flow version and follow the Event release walkthrough.

For a browser link that opens a chat, form, or Page, configure Event hosting. App Store visibility and anonymous hosted access are separate settings.
