# Public App Links

> Choose whether apps in your organization can be shared with a link anyone can open

# Public App Links

An app's author or an admin can create a **public link** to the app: anyone with the link can open the app's latest version without signing in to Aster. See [Sharing an App Publicly](/features/apps#sharing-an-app-publicly) for what a link opens.

Public links are allowed unless an admin turns them off.

## Turn public links off

<Note>
  Changing this setting requires the **Organization Admin** (`org:admin`) role. See [Roles & Permissions](/settings/roles-permissions).
</Note>

In **Control Hub → Settings → General**, set **Public app links** to **Off**. While it's off:

* No one can create a public link, in the Share dialog or by asking an agent.
* Links that already exist don't open, including links on your own domain and apps embedded in other websites. People who open one see "This link is not active."
* The Share dialog tells people that an admin has turned sharing off.

Set it back to **Allowed** and the existing links open again. To end one app's link for good, open the app, click **Share**, then **Turn off link**. This works whether the setting is on or off.

To change it through the API, for example when provisioning organizations, send:

```bash theme={null}
POST /api/orgSettings
{ "settings": { "publicAppSharing": false } }
```

See [Update organization settings](/api-reference/organization-settings/update-organization-settings).
