Microapp Settings: Security

The microapp security settings were designed to give microapp creators greater control over the distribution of microapps. Admins and Editors are the only user types that can enable the password protection options from the builder's 'Microapp Settings' modal. This article details the following security features:

  1. Internal Only
  2. Password Protection
  3. Link Expiration

Internal Only

While toggled ON this security feature will prevent public links from being generated. Only users with access to the Tiled account will be able to view the microapp from the Tiled Library. The photos below shows a lock icon beneath the microapp thumbnail, where "Internal Only" has been activated.

Internal Only

Note: Public links generated before this option is turned on and will still be accessible.

Password Protection

Password protection is a feature within Tiled that adds a layer of security to shared microapps, ensuring microapps can only be viewed with a password. Once Password protection is enabled, all shared links generated will require viewers to enter the password generated by the user sharing the microapp. Learn more about how to share a password protected microapp.

Password Protection FAQs

Do I have to create or generate a password for each type of share link?
Yes, whether you are sharing a password-protected microapp as a direct share, public share, or subtag share you must include a password. You can create your own password or have the system generate a password for you. Learn more about sharing password protected microapps.

Will my previously shared links for a microapp be impacted if this feature is enabled for a microapp?
