Adding resource to a custom application

When you assign the space resource to a custom application, you can assign additional resources. Custom applications support these resource types: Space, Workflow, Connection, and Account Settings.

Note: Space, Workflow, and Connection resources can be assigned as a resource to one custom application.

Account Settings resources, such as color palettes and themes, can be assigned as a resource to multiple custom applications.

Connection resources are shared connections, not space connections.

  1. Select the custom application.
  2. Click the More Actions icon for the custom application.
  3. Click Assign Resource.
    The resource fields vary depending on the Resource Type you select.
  4. Select a Resource Type. You can select a type of Space, Workflow, Connection, or Account Settings.
  5. To assign account settings as a resource:
    Note: You must enable at least one of the settings, such as color palettes or themes, to assign account settings as a resource.
    1. Select a Resource Type of Account Settings.
    2. Specify an identifier value in the Unique Resource Identifier fields.
    3. Enable Color Palette to assign the color palette settings as a resource.
    4. Enable Theme to assign the dashboard themes for the space being used as the application's consumer space.
    5. Click Add Resource.
  6. To assign a connection resource:

    4. Select the account group(s) or space group(s) based on the user role type chosen during application creation or update. This determines user access and permissions from the Define Application User Roles (Admin) list.
    5. Select the account group(s) or space group(s) based on the user role type chosen during application creation or update. This determines user access and permissions to be exempt from the Define Application User Roles (Exempt) list.
