App Access Only vs App + Enterprise Access

I am trying to wrap my head around some of the terms used for App Access Level.

My options are 'App Access Only' or 'App + Enterprise Access'

Consider the following use-case: 

  1. I creates folder.
  2. I add my app's user-id to this folder, and gives it Upload (editor) rights.
  3. I configure my app with that folder ID
  4. I run my app, and my app will write a file to that folder as itself.

My questions:

  • What is the definition of 'Enterprise content'?
  • Can I achieve this use case with 'App Access Only'?
  • If I'd need to edit a user's file without his/her permission, do I need to switch to 'App + Enterprise Access'?

    Hello Kristof, 

    Based on what you've described, app access only should be enough. Enterprise would need to be selected if your app needed to interact with managed users and their content. App only access means the app can only interact with the app's service account, app users, and their content. This is documented here. 

    I'm not sure I understand the last question though. Can you elaborate on this? "If I'd need to edit a user's file without his/her permission, do I need to switch to 'App + Enterprise Access". 

    Best,

    Kourtney

    Let's say I have a folder with ID 5, and in that there are 10 files, all created by ME.

    My app gets access to that folder, because we add it as Editor.

    Can my app iterate that folder with ID 5 and edit those files?

    The way I read the documentation is that those files would be considered content created by others, so I need App + Enterprise. Is that correct?
