Is it possible to restrict collaborator access by page?

Need help

Hi Bubblers,

I am trying to figure out how i can safely outsource some of the bubble work I need to do. I was expecting to be able to assign work by page and tightly restrict access to the rest of the app, but I cannot figure out how to do that. I can see how to restrict access to the database and to the entire app but not how to restrict access by page.

Is this possible with a normal subscription (e,g. Growth Plan)?
Does the Agency License give one that ability?

Thanks in advance for your help with this,

Cheers,

No, typically you will have NDAs and contracts in place as well as save points and bubble gives the ability to restore at anytime within plan limits.

If you MUST restrict your developer then have them build it out in a free app and share via URL and you will copy it over to your app and polish it off.

However, if you’re working with developers you don’t trust it’s not going to be a very healthy dynamic.

I can’t stress this point enough, spend the extra money and hire a quality seasoned bubble developer. Many times the prices average out to be about the same or slightly more due to work speed and overall knowledge of the platform.

More times than I can count in the last 7 years I’ve gotten into a client project and they tell me they had a developer that was half my rate or less and they are out of timeline and way over budget and now paying me more to fix the app because it was build incorrectly or with awful practice and I not only have to spend time learning the app I also have to play clean up and many times setup database migration flows to restructure.

Thanks for your response @chris.williamson1996.

I was afraid that it was not possible to restrict access to specific pages. Even when one trusts the developer, having two skilled bubblers in the same environment seems scary to me. The thought that the contractor could accidentally erase some “set states” gives me a cold sweat.

I had not considered the possibility of having them build it in another app. I had heard that one can copy stuff between apps but have yet to use it. Can you copy entire pages?

If it’s due to two developers and not a distrust in developers then I’d recommend just using the versioning system.

You can create a branch from main for each dev and instruct them to work only in their version. You will handle merging their changes into main in order to push live.

Thanks @chris.williamson1996.

You actually just answered a question that I had intended to ask. Based on your note above, one cannot restrict access to a specific version either.

Am I right in thinking that the versioning does not extend to the Backend workflows?

It does, every version is its own unique sandbox. Backend, frontend, workflows, database, etc.
