With Apptivo's App Builder, build and publish your own apps easily. App Builder makes it easy for anyone to build and deploy apps instantly. You can also create a custom role for the custom app. The employees' app of Apptivo allows you to create a custom role and assign that role to any of your employees which means only the assigned employee will have the access to the selected app.

Note: Here, the custom app is named Business Contacts

Steps to create a custom role:

  • Log in and access the Employees app from the universal navigation menu bar.
  • Click on the More(...) icon and select Settings.
