The Common Settings for Apps feature allows kintone system administrators to manage settings that are applied to all apps.

Settings for each app are configured by app administrators. However, to prevent risky settings from being applied across kintone, kintone system administrators can restrict some settings.

1. Click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the top of kintone, then click kintone administration.

2. On the kintone administration screen, click "General Settings for Apps".

3. On the App Settings screen, configure the necessary settings.
   For details on the settings, refer to the following section.
   Prohibiting the App Management Permission for the Everyone Group in App Permissions

4. Click Save.

kintone system administrators can restrict app administrators from granting the "App Management" permission to the "Everyone" group.

This section describes the impact when a kintone system administrator prohibits granting the "App management" permission to the "Everyone" group.
When this setting is set to "Prohibit", the setting affects not only new apps but also existing apps that already have the "App management" permission granted to the "Everyone" group.

Impact on App Administrators:

If the Everyone group is granted permission to manage apps on the Permissions for app screen, an error occurs and you will not be able to perform the following actions:

• Saving Permission Settings
• Updating or Deploying an App

On the "View" screen:​

When a user with app management permissions attempts to perform the following operations on the Record List screen, an error occurs and the operation becomes impossible.

• Save Filter Conditions
• Saving Charts

Impact when using REST API:

If the following REST API is executed to grant app management permission to the "Everyone" group, an error occurs and the operation cannot be completed.

• Update App Permissions
• Updating Record Permissions (Using /k/v1/record/acl.json)
• Updating Field Permission Settings (Using /k/v1/field/acl.json)
• Deploying app settings to the live environment (When using revert: false)

If a kintone system administrator prohibits granting app management permission to the "Everyone" group in the common settings of kintone apps, there are some restrictions when creating apps on Garoon's Spaces.

I cannot create a new app on a public space in Garoon.

This is because the Everyone group is automatically granted the "App Management" permission for apps created in Garoon public spaces.

If you need to create an app in a public space on Garoon, please use one of the following methods.

Create an app in kintone and place the app on a public space in Garoon.
Note that you can place even those apps on public spaces in Garoon that have granted app management permission to the "Everyone" group.

When creating an app, clear the check box for "Prohibit the Everyone group from being granted app management permission in app permission settings" to temporarily disable this setting.
After creating the app, select the check box again to re-enable the setting. Then, if necessary, review the permissions for each app.
