The document discusses the SharePoint 2013 app model and how it impacts and expands Azure development opportunities. It covers key topics like the app model, OAuth, the marketplace, getting started with apps, and using the Napa online app development tool. The app model introduces a new way of building and deploying solutions in SharePoint in a more packaged and reusable way compared to previous customization options. It also allows integration with external cloud services like Azure.

• Classic model limited server • Manage
from 2007 side support permission and

7. Online vs. On-premises
Farm Sandbox SP Apps
• Server-side OM • Limited Server- • Client-side OM
• Client-side OM Side OM only
• No marketplace • Client-side OM • Marketplace
• On-premises only • No marketplace • Online only
• No OAuth • On-premises and • OAuth

8. SharePoint Hosted App – what is it?
• Sub web of site collection
• ―One app – one Web (SPWeb)‖
– Host header SPWeb – each app has its own http address
• Apps can deploy only web scoped features
– Site collection resources deployed using classic solution
options
• None of app deployed features are visible outside of app
• End users cannot manipulate app web to avoid breaking
of the apps using browser or SharePoint Designer
• Apps can not talk to each other

10. SP App Design - A Choice of Three Approaches
Developer-Hosted App
Cloud-based “Bring your own server hosting SharePoint Your Hosted
Apps infrastructure” Web Site
Developers will need to isolate
Get remote tenants
events from
SharePoint Azure Auto- Azure
Use CSOM/REST Provisioned App SharePoint (from
+ Windows Azure + SQL Azure
OAuth to work provisioned invisibly as apps Web WebDeploy,
with SP are installed DacPac)
SharePoint-hosted App
Parent
Provision an isolated sub web
on a parent web Web
• Reuse web elements App Web
(lists, files, out-of-box web (from WSP)
parts)
• No server code allowed;
use client JavaScript for
logic, UX

11. App Project Anatomy
PAGES SCRIPTS
Home.aspx App.js
Main page of the app
Web Part Page
Template script file
Script and Style Elements.xml
references
Elements.xml
Installs script file to
Installs home page to isolated app site
the isolated app site
STYLES APP MANIFEST
App.css AppManifest.xml
Template style ProductID, Version, Title
sheet Tile and StartPage Urls
Elements.xml AppEvent Urls: Installed,
Installs css to Uninstalling,
isolated app site Upgraded
App Permission requests

12. Example use cases for SP Apps
• Services and applications hosted in Azure to provide
extended services for portal users
• On-premises LOB systems hosted in other web
applications
– Examples – HR systems, vacation booking, travel
expenses
– Easy integration of existing applications to SharePoint
without requirement to host them there
• Integration of other cloud based systems to on-
premises or hosted SharePoint environments
without requirements to install customizations

13. Scenario - B2B sales models –
Case Office Supplies
• B2B app for Intranet’s of larget enterprises
• Exposes simple UI for ordering Office Supplies
• Hosted in cloud – orders processed using
Azure service bus from numerious customers

19. App Scopes
• SPSite—site collection
• SPWeb—website
• SPList—list
• Tenancy—the tenancy scope is at
http://<sharepointserver>/<content>/<tenant>/
• performing search queries, accessing
taxonomy data, user profiles, etc.

20. App Rights
• Rights:
– Read-Only
– Write
– Manage
– Full Control
• Not customizable!
• If an app is granted permission to a scope
– the permission applies to all children of the
scope

21. Setting App Rights
• App rights are set when:
– An app is installed by an SPWeb administrator
– An app is explicitly granted permission by a tenant
administrator or SPWeb administrator
– An end user gives consent
– An app is removed
• Once provisioned, the rights for an app cannot
change – they can only be revoked in whole
– This ensures the app will not have to account for missing
rights, i.e. become broken after installation

31. Concerns
• Submission process approves SharePoint manifest
– No control over external changes
– Once App granted permissions
• App can do what it likes in that scope
• Trust element of vendor
– Will hurt small unknown companies
– Different to phone market – corporate data
