Description​

Encryption allows you to protect the projects you’ve created from unexpected copying and editing.

What is it used for?​

  • Protecting a project from being copied
  • Transferring a template to another user so that only they have access to the project

Where to find it​

After you create a project, you'll see a padlock icon on the ❗→ static blocks panel; this is the encryption block.

Minimum ZennoPoster version​

In this dropdown list, you can select the minimum version required to run the template.

"Check" button​

Information

Added in ZennoPoster 7.2.1.0

After clicking this button, a check will be run on the template to assess the minimum possible version it can run on.

Permissions​

Email​

The field for entering an identifier; several formats are available:

Execute​

Allows the user to only run the project

Read​

Allows the user to view the project’s structure

Edit​

Allows the user to edit the project

Full access​

All of the above, plus the ability to grant permissions to other users.

Hide Author ID​

Attention

When this option is enabled, the minimum ZennoPoster version is automatically set to 7.1.7.0.

If you're transferring a template to other users and don’t want them to know your internal ZennoLab system ID, enable the "Hide Author ID" option in the encryption block.

Here’s how the encryption block will look for other users:

Hide instance from users​

Attention

When this option is enabled, the minimum ZennoPoster version is automatically set to 7.7.2.0.

If, when sharing a template with others, you don’t want the browser to be visible when running the project, enable the "Hide instance from users" option.

This option doesn’t affect the execution of the project; it just hides the browser display in ZennoPoster and ProjectMaker and applies to those template users who have only the Execute privilege. Hiding occurs in:

  • Instance previews in ZennoPoster.
  • Showing the instance via double-click in ZennoPoster.
  • The browser window in ProjectMaker when executing the project as a plugin or subproject.

This does not apply to the ❗→ Wait for User Action action.

More about permissions​

Execute, Read, Edit, Full access — permissions are assigned according to a hierarchical system. When a higher-level permission is granted, the previous ones are automatically given as well. Conversely, if both "Execute" and "Read" are checked and you decide to remove "Execute", then Read will be automatically deactivated too.

Example of use​

Suppose you’ve created a project and want to give it to another user, but you only want them to be able to run the project, without access to view or edit the template.

To do this, just enter their email or ID from your personal account and grant "Execute" permissions.
