ALMA Cloud apps; can we enable this feature role-based
with lots of interest we have followed the Igelu presentations about ALMA Cloud Apps.
For now we have not enabled this feature though we would like to use it.
We do not want all our ALMA users to be able to use all these apps.
It looks as now the only choice is 'enable or disable'.
Is it possible to add Alma Cloud apps role based?
For example for our users who have a General Administrator role or to the meta data experts in our library?
Kind regards, Hiltje

Dear community,
Thanks for raising this idea.
I would like to better understand the requirement:
Do you want to limit users to be able to install/use only cloud apps that they have the proper roles for operating? Meaning - users will not be able to install/use a cloud app they do not have the required roles to operate it.
or
Do you want to allow the use of cloud apps only for users that you specifically choose (by giving them a dedicated role for that)? Meaning - users will be able to install/use cloud apps only if they were given a dedicated role for that (for example, a new role "CLOUD_APP_OPERATOR")?
or
Both?
or
Other?
I would be happy to hear your thoughts and clarifications.
Thanks,

Note: I am not the person who proposed this
My preference would be Both
A user should have a role like CLOUD_APP_OPERATOR
AND
be able to install/use only cloud apps that they have the proper roles for operating -

This is sorely needed. Some existing cloud apps enable data modifications that not everyone in an institution would ideally have access to.
