Private and Public Applications

Flowlu supports two types of custom applications: private and public. These application types differ in visibility, distribution, and moderation requirements.

Private applications (Local)

Private applications are intended for internal use or distribution to a limited number of Flowlu accounts.

Key characteristics:

• Private applications are not listed in the Flowlu Marketplace.

• They are installed directly into specific Flowlu accounts.

• Moderation is not required for private applications.

• Private applications currently have a single active version.

Private applications are suitable for:

• internal tools,

• customer-specific integrations,

• experimental or early-stage applications.

Public applications

Public applications are listed in the Flowlu Marketplace and available to other Flowlu customers.

Key characteristics:

• Public applications must pass moderation before publication.

• Each new application version requires moderation.

• Moderation includes verification of:

  • declared functionality,

  • application operability,

  • security considerations,

  • requested permissions and scopes.

Updates and moderation

Not all changes require moderation.

The following changes do not require re-moderation:

• application description text,

• support information,

• banners and promotional content,

• logos and visual assets.

The following changes do require moderation:

• changes affecting functionality,

• changes to requested permissions or scopes.

Visibility and access control

For both private and public applications:

• installation and removal are performed by portal administrators,

• administrators can assign application access to specific user roles or groups.
