Disable AppSheet databases

Disable AppSheet databases to prevent use by your team.

To fully prevent access to AppSheet databases, you must do both of the following:

  • Define the team policy to prevent app creators from using AppSheet database tables and end users from using apps that are built with AppSheet databases
  • Enable the team setting to prevent app creators on your team from using AppSheet databases in their apps
Note: You must have team root or admin privileges to define team policies and enable team settings.

Define the team policy

Define the Disable AppSheet databases team policy to prevent:

  • App creators from using AppSheet database tables in their apps
  • End users from using apps that are built with AppSheet databases

When the team policy is in effect, if an AppSheet database table is used in an app the following error message displays in the app editor to indicate that use of AppSheet database tables is prevented.
