How can I protect my application?

What to know

JMobile provides three different levels of security:

• Project level: User Management
  At project level you can define your Security Settings from JMobile Studio.
• Runtime level: Remote Password
  At runtime level, you can protect upload and download of any project in your panel.
• OS level: BSP Password
  At OS level, you can protect the update of the BSP components of your panel.

Below you can find an explanation on how to configure each level of security.

Project level: how to configure User Management

You can create your project Security Settings from JMobile Studio, by managing Users and User Groups.
The access to each object in the project will be given accordingly to User's settings.
Please refer to "User Management and Password" chapter on JMobile Help for a detailed description of Security management at project level.

Runtime level: how to set the "Remote Password"

You can protect upload and download of any project in your panel by setting a dedicated password on the panel itself.

You can set the Remote Password by:

• Context Menu
