I've created a SharePoint-hosted app, and I want not only Site collection admins to be able to install the app, but also members etc (not visitors).

Is this even possible?

Yes, but the permissions requested by app should not be those which are with admin only. For example, you can't ask for Full Control permissions in app manifest and expect a user with contributor access to install that app as the user himself doesn't have that permission.

  • Thanks. But if I use scope: search in my app it's not possible? Because even if I hade Read on every scope, except Search (QueryAsUserIgnoreApp...) the member cannot install the app.

  • @RangeRover, not sure about this but Read is perhaps too low a permission in case of search.

  • Search uses QueryAsUserIgnoreAppPrincipals, not read.

  • @RangeRover, sorry, I am not really sure of that part and unfortunately I don't have app environment setup to test it right now.

    If you require QueryAsUserIgnorAppPrincipals permission then only Site Administrators can install the app. Non-Admin users cannot grant permissions to retrieve results from other site collections which is what this permission does.
