Add-in Security Identifiers for Access Control?

Dear @LPPapillon-1145​ @jjake-8255​ et al

 

I have a vague recollection of an add-in config.json from one of Geotab's announcements/bootcamps that demoed the upcoming add-in security controls feature.

 

Did this exist or am I imagining it? I'm attempting to fish out a solution for a customer that wants to restrict access to one of our partner's dashcam add-ins. A custom "hack" while we encourage the partner to implement this officially or to use getSession() to check against their users list.

 

It was something like this and I could have sworn I found one of the new add-ins using this.

 

"addinSecurityIdentifiers":{

"ViewAddinIdentifier": "custom_idValueView"

}

@andrewb-1122​ You are recalling correctly! Custom security identifiers for add-ins is on the roadmap. The team is working on some final details, and we are anticipating to have it ready for public consumption by the beginning of 2022! We'll make sure to have our SDK/add-in dev documentation updated with all the information our integrators will need to benefit from this new functionality as soon as we have a release date set. Stay tuned and make sure you're subscribed to the Integrator's Hub to be amongst the first ones to be notified when this comes out!

Hey, @andrewb-1122​!

 

Not sure exactly what you're referring to, but is it possible this was something that was implemented without an add-in already?

 

This is the closest thing I can think of offhand:

Systems Settings Security

 

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Andrew,

 

I remember hearing of something like this on the roadmap, but I haven't seen an announcement or any documentation (and I'm on the doc site every day). Let me know if you find anything usable now, but we still rely on these checks being implemented in the add-in itself.
