This article describes the best way to control access to apps for end usersThis page is for application designers who need to specify which users can access an application.

For end users of a PhixFlow application, we recommend that access to PhixFlow itself is restricted. You can ensure that users can only access applications as follows.

1. In the Full Repository, right-click Role and select 

   Insert excerpt
   _new _new nopanel true

   .
2. In the role properties, set Basic Settings → Name to App User.
3. In the Roles section toolbar, click 

   Insert excerpt
   _roles _roles nopanel true

    to open the list of roles.
4. Drag in the following privileges:
   • Run Stream Actions
   • View Applications
   • View Dashboards

Controlling Access Using Action Buttons

...

Todo-Fiona Example and improve point 3

1. Create a set of user groups to represent all application user roles.
2. To each user group, add access to the actions buttons that the group of users need to access:
   •  tasks
   •  other dashboards
3. Only associate the privileges specifically for this role, not for this role and everything “underneath” it. What does this mean? 
4. At least one user group must contain the App User role.
5. Layer the user groups onto the users so that they end up with the access they need.
