Access to specific modules

Anvil Q&A
1

Hey guys!

I want to hire a developer to work on specific part of my code ( specific modules, without accessing full functionality like data tables, files, other modules etc. )

Is there a way to limit access only to specific server modules?

Maybe splitting the app in two, having the external developer working on app1 and setting app1 as dependency of app2?

This would allow you to create app2 for production containing the secret sauce and app3 for testing for the external developer.

That might be a solution, thanks.
How build a dependancy app? Something like this - just importing app1 as library?

Create app1.
Create app2, click on settings, dependencies and add app1 as dependency.
Create app3, click on settings, dependencies and add app1 as dependency.

Then you can share the clone to app1 only, or the clone to app3 that includes app1 (and its other dependencies), or share app1 and app3 with GitHub.
