What is screen security?

App Security gives you different options you can use to protect your app from unauthorized access. For example, you can use it to ensure everyone has to log in before they can see certain screens in your app. Security settings for your app are defined under the App Security tab in App Settings. App Security is divided into two tabs: Screen security and Data source security. This article discusses screen security; data source security is covered in another article. Changes to screen security settings will require an update to be published on your app before they are live.

How to use screen security

 
  1. Go to App Settings

Why use screen security?
