Publishing and Sharing

Publish, share, and control access to apps.
Paid plan required for sharing
The Free plan does not support sharing apps with anyone else. Upgrade to a paid plan to collaborate on and share apps.

All new apps are in draft mode by default. Publishing an app pushes changes live to be shared with users.

Publishing an app

Organizations with paid plans can publish apps. To publish your app:

1

Open the app you want to publish.

2

Click the Publish button at the top right of GlideOS.

3

Select who can access the app.

4

Click Publish again.

Access Control

You can choose who is allowed access to an app.

  • Members in my organization: Access is restricted to teammates in your GlideOS organization only.
  • Anyone with a link (sign-in required): Any person who has the app link can access it after signing in.
  • Anyone with a link: Any person who has the app link can access it without signing in.

You can change this at any time by clicking the Publish or Share button at the top right of the app screen and choosing new access settings.

By default, the projects and apps you create are visible to all members in your GlideOS organization. Teammates can discover them from the Home screen, find them in Projects, and open the live app when it’s ready to use.

Anyone with the link is a public app setting

Data shown in a public app is accessible to anyone with the link. Only make an app public when the app and its data are safe to share outside your organization.

App URL

GlideOS auto-generates a unique URL when you publish your app. You can change this to a custom URL.

1

Click the Share button at the top right of GlideOS.

2

Click Customize.

3

Add a new URL in the Glide subdomain field and click Save, or enter your own custom domain and click Connect.

You can change this URL at any time, even after you’ve shared the app with others.

Share new URL

Don’t forget to send users the new link so they can continue to have access.
