What is Code Guardian Allow?

Allow automatically vets Visual Studio Code extensions, publishes allowed versions, and monitors them as they change.

Does Allow replace our MDM?

No. Allow works alongside endpoint management tools such as Intune or Jamf and requires no new endpoint agent.

How much does Allow cost?

Allow costs €200 per allowlist, per month, with a 30-day free trial.

Users and roles

Understand owner, administrator, and member access in an Allow workspace.

Roles

Owner can manage allowlists, requests, members, workspace settings, billing, and deployment.
Administrator has the same day-to-day management access as an owner.
Member can view the allowlist and evidence, request an extension, see their request history, and prioritize queued vetting work.

Everyone in the workspace can view its member list. The final owner cannot be removed.

Invite a member

Owners and administrators open Members, enter an email address, and send the invitation. The workspace invitation creates a Member; the current workspace UI does not offer a role selector or role editor.

The link is bound to the invited email address, can be used once, and expires after 14 days. Remove people promptly when they no longer need access, and never share user accounts.
