Managing access

A private skill is not published, only you can see it and activate it. A private skill doesn't require testing and moderation: it's sent for self-moderation.

A private Yango Smart Home skill appears in the  Yango Play app after deployment. Open the  Yango Play app. In the upper-right corner, tap and choose Smart home device. You will find the skill in the popular manufacturers list.

Make the skill private:

1. Open the skill in the developer console.
2. On the Settings tab, in the Access type field, select the Private value.
3. Publish the skill.

If you need to grant access to a skill to only a few people, for example, for testing purposes, write to support.

Only one account can access the developer console.

If you want someone else to help you create a skill, you can:

• Create the code in a shared online editor, then transfer the skill to the developer console for one of the accounts.
• Split responsibilities between team members. For example, one person creates functions, the other one builds intents, and the third one works on deployment.

A public skill is published, and it can be activated by any user.

Make the skill public:

1. Open the skill in the developer console.
2. On the Settings tab, in the Access type field, select the value Public.
3. Publish your skill.

Set up authorization in the skill through your own service or a third-party service. For example, grant another user access to your personal by linking accounts.

Where can I set up skill access?

1. In the developer console, open the skill.
2. On the Settings tab, find the Access type field.
3. Select a value:

   • Private, to make the skill available only to you or users you share the skill with.
   • Public, to open access to the skill for everyone.

How do I create a skill just for myself?

Open the skill in the developer console, then on the Settings tab, in the Access type field, select Private.
