This guide covers how to grant another Q-Play account access to a private app or data source you've built. It assumes your account already has Developer access enabled — if the Developer menu item isn't visible for your account, this needs to be enabled by NordicScreen first.

1. Open the Developer area

Log in to Q-Play and click Developer in the sidebar.

2. Go to Apps or Data Sources

From the Developer overview, go to either the Apps tab or the Data Sources tab, depending on what you want to share.

3. Open Manage Access

Find the app or data source you want to share in the list, click the "..." menu on its row, and select Manage Access.

4. Grant access

A Manage Access dialog opens.

• Click + Add account, enter the Account ID of the account you want to grant access to, and choose an Access level:
  • User: can use the app/data source, but cannot edit its code.
  • Developer: can edit the underlying code. Only grant this if the account genuinely needs to modify the app — this gives real write access, not just usage.
• Click Save once you've added the account(s) you need.

5. For apps: don't forget layout access

This step is specific to apps — data sources don't have it, since a data source only has a single access scope.

Granting App access only gives the account access to the app itself — it does not automatically grant access to any of the app's layouts. Each layout is listed as its own entry under Access Scopes, alongside App access.

If an account also needs to use a specific layout, click into that layout under Access Scopes and add the account there too, the same way you did for App access.

This is useful for reuse: you can build one app (and one data source) and create several different layouts on top of it — for example, custom designs for different clients — then grant each client's account access only to their specific layout, without giving them access to layouts that belong to other clients.
