Specify which users and groups have access to predefined and custom templates in App Engine Studio (AES).
Implicit sharing
Templates are implicitly shared with some users in your organization, meaning that no sharing
record exists that determines sharing. The three rules governing implicit sharing are:
- Instance administrators can see and use all templates.
- App template admins (users with the app_template_admin role) can also see and use all templates.
- App template authors (users with the app_template_author role) can see templates that are not shared with them if they have permission to edit the scope in which the template resides.
These sharing rules apply regardless of whether a template is active.
Explicit sharing
You can share app templates with anyone in your organization by creating a sharing record for that user or group. However, regardless of sharing permissions, the user or group must have the sn_app_eng_studio.user role to see and
use the template. The three ways to share templates are:
- Share globally with every user in your organization
- Share with a specified user group
- Share with a specified single user
Note: If you stop sharing a template with an individual user but that user is a part of any
group the template is shared with, that user is still able to see and use the template.
