Assign apps to user groups or users

Greetings.

One of my customers sometimes wants to assign a given app to a specific user or to a user group. I know that currently in Tulip, apps are assigned to stations or station groups. But when I think about this, I can see interesting use cases for that.

Currently, the way apps are organized is tied to the shop floor, to physical devices. Why not also allow to define that organization according to users or user groups? While this might be less frequent, it can be interesting for a supervisor to be able to connect to some admin app from any station, as long as they’re logged in with their own account.

A downside would be security though. If the supervisor forgets to log out, someone else could start using an admin app while they shouldn’t. But we could consider this is a risk some places are ready to take and train their supervisors accordingly.

What do you think?

Hello,

Well nothing prevents you to do just that in your application.
Just create a first page with a check ‘on step enter’ that will check the user group of the current user and cancel the app if not allowed.

Kind Regards,

This is what we are looking at. I just submitted a post to see if Tulip can expose an API to manage user groups, this way we can automate the adding and removal of users.
