Guest Access Criteria

Overview

Data stored in AgileApps is secure and only authenticated users can create and view records. Without valid permissions, you cannot get access to this data. This feature allows a guest user to perform CRUD operations on an object without any authentication or login to AgileApps. It works on criteria-based permission models.

A use case scenario for this feature is a flight reservation system. Here, a user can view the available flights for a destination as an anonymous user. However, to book a flight, the user would need to sign up or provide certain credentials.

Who can use this feature?

AgileApps allows for automatic login for the guest user. Guest user is a standard platform user with ‘user id’ as 7. The authorization should be configured by the Tenant Admin in the form of a formula in Object Properties.

Note: This feature is not available in a sandbox environment.

Prerequisites

To use this feature, the sub-domain should be enabled. The guest user should access AgileApps using a sub-domain. For more information about enabling a sub-domain, see the Tenant Configuration section in Service Configuration.
