# Share an App

> Control who can discover and open a deployed App, handle access requests, and decide whose identity the App acts with.

Domino enforces App access at the proxy level, before any request reaches your App code. Set it when you publish, or at any time afterwards from the **Share App** dialog.

## Choose a sharing mode

| Mode                 | Who can view                                         | Access & sharing view                                           |
| :------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Restricted**       | Only the users you list, plus project collaborators. | Lets you name the users or organization that can reach the App. |
| **Anyone in Domino** | Anyone with a Domino account.                        | Shows no user management options.                               |

Project collaborators can also edit the App, so you add an editor by adding that person as a collaborator on the project that holds the App.

## Handle access requests

The **Share App** dialog is where you review pending requests, grant or deny access, and track notifications.

* **Pending requests** appear with **Accept** and **Deny** options.
* **Access request notifications** go out by email and in Domino when someone requests access, naming the requester, the App, the project, and linking to the **Share App** dialog.
* **Access granted notifications** go out by email and in Domino when you grant access, naming the App and linking to its details page.

Domino sends a notification whenever you grant access, whether you accepted a request or assigned access directly.

## Decide whose identity the App uses

By default an App acts with the identity and privileges of its publisher, so every viewer shares the publisher's permissions when the App reaches Domino resources. Enable **Allow App to act for viewers in Domino** when the App has to query Datasets under row-level security, start Jobs for a viewer, use Data Sources that need viewer credentials, or take any other action as the viewer. The change takes effect after you restart the App.

Only SysAdmins or CloudAdmins can enable this setting.

<Warning>
  An App with this setting has full access to Domino on behalf of each viewer, including running Jobs, reaching files and data, and managing Projects. Enable it only for Apps you trust to act responsibly with user-level permissions. [App security and identity](/cloud/platform-capabilities/features/apps/authentication-and-identity/app-security) covers the configuration steps and the security implications.
