Applications
Commerce Layer open-source back-office applications and their sets of permissions
The Commerce Layer admin Dashboard includes a section for back-office applications built on top of our Core API covering some of the platform's main features (such as orders or customers management, importing or exporting data, and more).
Any Commerce Layer account comes with a hosted version of any of those applications that is automatically enabled for Admin users, who can then enable them for other members of the organization with Full or Read-only access (the option to grant members Partial access to some apps is also available, provided that you properly set up restrictions at the application membership level). If you need further customization for one or more of your applications, they are all released as open-source projects so that you can fork them to make the changes that suit your needs, add your custom app to the Dashboard, and start using your own self-hosted version.
This is the list of all the currently available Commerce Layer Dashboard open-source applications:

Custom apps
All applications showcased on the Dashboard provide extensive customization options. You can enhance their functionality by adding new features, extending existing ones, and integrating with 3rd-party APIs, among other possibilities.
After you made your changes and thoroughly tested your custom app, you can seamlessly integrate it into the Dashboard, making it accessible to your entire team.
When you fork the related repository, your custom app inherits the original app set of permissions. If you need any additional information on how to fork an app from the Dashboard UI, please read this guide.
To replicate the Dashboard look and feel when customizing your apps or building any other app on top of Commerce Layer's APIs you can easily leverage App Elements, the React component library used to build our Dashboard applications.
