App Scope and Permissions
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Global scope and permissions
Each app for Confluence Cloud (like Comala Document Control) has to be configured with a specific scope.
Scopes allow an app to request a particular level of access to an Atlassian product.
This configuration is done automatically when the app is installed. This adds the Comala Approvals for Confluence Cloud app user as an individual user in the Global permissions screen.
The automatic configuration also adds the Comala Approvals for Confluence Cloud app user as an individual user for each space in the Space permissions screen.
The app user is assigned all individual user permissions for the space except Restrictions Add/Delete, Delete own, Archive, Space Export.
Within an instance, a global administrator can limit the actions an app may perform.
This is valuable as it allows administrators to safely install apps that they otherwise would not.
However
changes in scope by a global administrator may affect the global permissions for the app user and the functioning of the app in the instance
changes in the individual space permissions for the app user (either due to the global change or a space administrator change) may affect the functioning of the app in that space
page restrictions added to content prior to the addition and application of the Approval app workflow to the content may cause an error
