Iframe permissions for third-party applications
When you configure third-party applications, you can specify
iframe permission settings. You can change these permissions after
creating the application.
By default, Connect Customer grants every third-party application four
iframe permissions: allow-forms,
allow-popups, allow-same-origin, and
allow-scripts. If an application needs more, you can request
additional iframe permissions when you register it.
Note
Support for these permissions might vary by browser implementation.
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
Allow |
|
| clipboard-read | Controls whether the application is allowed to read data from the clipboard. This permission is currently supported by Chrome, but not by Firefox or Safari. |
| clipboard-write | Controls whether the application is allowed to write data to the clipboard. This permission is currently supported by Chrome, but not by Firefox or Safari. |
| microphone | Controls whether the application is allowed to use audio input devices. |
| camera | Controls whether the application is allowed to use video input devices. |
Sandbox |
|
| allow-forms | Allows the page to submit forms. Supported by default. |
| allow-popups | Allows the application to open popups. Supported by default. |
| allow-same-origin | If this token is not used, the resource is treated as being from a special origin that always fails the same-origin policy (potentially preventing access to data storage, cookies, and some JavaScript APIs). Supported by default. |
| allow-scripts | Allows the page to run scripts. Supported by default. |
| allow-downloads | Allows downloading files through an <a> or
<area> element with the
download attribute, or through navigation that
leads to a file download. |
| allow-modal | Allows the page to open modal windows with
Window.alert(), Window.confirm(),
Window.print(), and
Window.prompt(). Opening a
<dialog> element is allowed regardless of
this permission. |
| allow-storage-access-by-user-activation | Allows the application to use the Storage Access API to request access to unpartitioned cookies. |
| allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox | Allows the application to open a new browsing context without forcing the sandbox flags upon it. |
Sample configuration
Configure iframe permissions with a template similar to the following.
For example, to grant clipboard permissions:
{ "IframeConfig": { "Allow": [ "clipboard-read", "clipboard-write" ], "Sandbox": [ "allow-forms", "allow-popups", "allow-same-origin", "allow-scripts" ] } }
Important notes
-
If you leave the iframe configuration field blank or set it to empty braces (
{}), Connect Customer grants the following sandbox permissions:-
allow-forms
-
allow-popups
-
allow-same-origin
-
allow-scripts
{ "IframeConfig": { "Allow": [], "Sandbox": ["allow-forms", "allow-popups", "allow-same-origin", "allow-scripts"] } } -
-
To explicitly configure an application with no permissions, you must set empty arrays for both
AllowandSandbox:{ "IframeConfig": { "Allow": [], "Sandbox": [] } }
