I have developed a set of add-ins. Our organization has different branches and divisions. I would like to share the add-ins with a group of people and some individuals maybe. Is there way to insert some kind of password for each user so they will enter the password to use the add-in
@GKmieliauskas Thanks for the solution! I was able to apply the sample code to my add-in but now facing two problems. One, I need to provide unique product id for each user and that can not be used more than once. Two, I would like to implement an expiration date for the add-in. Do you know if there is an easy way to do these?
@GKmieliauskas Do you mind sharing the software name and how it works? I was thinking of creating a list of alphanumeric strings and read/mark those from a live Google doc or something but your way is more robust, easier and less time consuming
I got that it is commercial software but I don't understand why you wouldn't give its name. Thanks anyway I will check online if I can find something for our needs.
If your organization is running Active Directory, you might consider setting up a group for each AddIn. You could then override the Module Initialize method so that it checks to see if the user is a member of respective group, and set a member variable _isAuthorized accordingly.
The components in the module could then check to see if module.IsAuthorized before enabling its functionality.
