Enabling Canvas Personal Apps within an Organization

The administrator of an organization controls whether users can install canvas personal apps within that organization. Before attempting to create a canvas personal app, verify that the organization administrator has enabled canvas personal apps.

Here's how the organization administrator enables canvas personal apps.

  1. From Setup, enter Connected Apps in the Quick Find box, then select the option for managing connected apps.
  2. Next to App Access Settings, click Edit.
  3. Select the Allow users to install canvas personal apps checkbox.

  4. Click Save.

After the administrator has done these steps, you can designate your canvas app as a canvas personal app. For details, see Making an App a Canvas Personal App.
