App Permissions

Permissions define what your app is allowed to do inside the platform.

Permission Types:

  • ALL: Can do everything a normal User can.
    • Reserved for legal hold, archival bots, etc. are permanently online and active.
  • READ/WRITE: Utility Apps.
    • Users interact with these Apps in limited ways, on demand using some command like /poll (in contrast to type 1). Think polls, summary bots, Jira integrations, confluence integrations.
  • WRITE: Utility Apps.
    • Apps that notify you about things happening elsewhere and that need a very limited security scope. GitHub notifications, pager duty, jenkins bot, birthday bot. They do not receive messages.

Example Scenarios

  • A reporting app might need READ/WRITE.
  • A standup bot might only need WRITE.
