| <h2>What is the sandbox application?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-the-sandbox-application" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>When you create a new Usergrid account (see <a class="reference external" href="creating-account.html">Creating an Usergrid |
| Account</a>) to use services for developers, |
| Usergrid creates a new application for you on its servers. With the new |
| application, called “sandbox,” you can add your own example data and try |
| out API calls that do things with the data. Be sure to see Using the API |
| for suggestions.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="section" id="is-the-sandbox-secure"> |
| <h2>Is the sandbox secure?<a class="headerlink" href="#is-the-sandbox-secure" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>To keep things simple and make it easier for you to try things out, the |
| sandbox application has all authentication disabled. That way, it |
| doesn’t require an access token for application-level calls to the API. |
| Permissions are so open on the sandbox application because its “guest” |
| role offers full permissions for all access paths – that is, GET, POST, |
| PUT, and DELETE for /**. Learn more about roles and permissions in |
| Managing access by defining permission rules.</p> |
| <!-- workaround a Sphinx bug --> |
| <div class="admonition warning"><p class="first admonition-title"><p>Warning</p> |
| </p><p class="last"> |
| <p class="last"><p>Never use a sandbox app for production. Keep in mind that the lack of |
| authentication means that a sandbox application is not secure enough for |
| important or sensitive data. A sandbox is just for experimentation while |
| you learn how the services work, and should never be used for a |
| production application. As with other Usergrid applications you create, |
| a sandbox application is an area of the data store where you can put |
| your own data. You can create as many other applications as you like, |
| including more sandbox applications. When it comes to production |
| (secured) applications, a good rule of thumb is to create one |
| application for each mobile app you develop.</p> |
