Enabling add-ons for external contributors

If you want external contributors to your community to be able to use an add-on, you can let them access particular add-ons.

Fastpath: User interface: Your avatar > Add-ons

The setting to enable external contributor access is only visible if your community has enabled externally accessible groups. All external contributors in your community must be able to access the add-on you enable: you can't restrict access to members of specific groups.

Apps that are bundled in add-ons are displayed in the App Launcher when external contributors click the Apps tab.

To enable an add-on for external contributors:

1. In the user interface, click your avatar in the upper right corner and select Add-ons.
2. On the Add-ons tab, select All Add-ons > Installed.
3. Click the gear icon next to the add-on you want to grant access to, and then select Enable for External Contributors.

You see the Externally Accessible label in the list of Add-ons. To disable again, change the setting back to disable add-ons for external contributors.
