🔐 New: Share Builds externally using One-Time Password

If your organization enforces SSO-only authentication, sharing a build with an external freelancer, QA studio, or partner has always meant a compromise: either create exceptions in your identity configuration or ask external users to go through an authentication flow they don't have access to.

Neither option is acceptable when compliance is non-negotiable.

OTP (One-Time Password) access solves this. It lets you grant temporary, identity-verified access to any external user — at the publication level — without touching your global SSO configuration.

⚙️ Key Capabilities

📧 Email-based allowlist

Add the email addresses of authorized external users directly to a publication. No Applivery account or SSO enrollment required on their end.

⏱️ Time-limited, single-use codes

OTPs are valid for 5–10 minutes and cannot be reused. Each access attempt requires a fresh code, ensuring no credentials can be shared or replayed.

🔁 Single-use access

Optionally remove an email from the allowlist after the first successful download, enforcing strict one-time access. Re-adding is always possible if needed.

⏳ Temporary user lifecycle

OTP users are created automatically and auto-deleted after 30 days. Existing workspace users are never counted twice.

🔔 New build notifications

When a new build is published, OTP users on the allowlist can receive a notification email with a fresh code — no need to re-request access manually.

📅 Combine with Expiring Publications

Pair OTP access with an expiring publication for a fully time-bounded and identity-verified external sharing flow, with zero manual cleanup.

📌 Use Cases

• External freelancers or contractors: One-time build review without creating permanent accounts.
• External QA studios: Time-limited access to a beta without relaxing global authentication.
• Partner or customer previews: Share a specific build securely with a named list of recipients.
• SSO-enforced organizations: Distribute externally without creating SSO exceptions or compromising your identity policy.
