    • 📝 Data Administration Apps: Usually require authorization to prevent unauthorized edits.

🔒 Authorized Access Only

• Who can access?
  • Logged-in users with specified roles.
  • Explicitly selected users.

🌍 Anonymous Access

Back-end Access

Allows authorized users to access the app directly from their WordPress dashboard.

When enabled, the app appears on the authorized users' dashboards with the specified title. A corresponding front-end menu item will also be created, as shown in the screenshot.

💡 Administrators have full access to all apps by default. However, to display an app on an administrator's dashboard, you must explicitly authorize their role or username.

Front-end Access

Embeds the app on any page using a shortcode.

Copy the generated shortcode and paste it into your desired page. Additional features can be enabled as explained below.

💬 Feedback

Displays authorization and error messages.

🚫 Disable Builders on Front-End

Hides the builder tool icon for administrators, preventing app editing on the front-end.

Authorize Server Calls

Authorize PHP function calls on the server from client-side hooks.

🛡️ PHP function calls on the server are supported via the wpda.callService built-in function from the browser. This feature allows database manipulation and other server-side tasks from hooks and supports returning any response type for further processing in the browser. For security reasons, each server call from the browser must be authorized.

✨ Examples

To authorize server calls, enter the PHP function name (e.g., myPhpFunction) or PHP class and method name (e.g., myClass.myMethod) for each called function and class/method combination.

📌 Multiple values are supported. Press ENTER to add each individual value.
