Manage permissions and website access per Space

Every Space keeps its own extension installations, permissions and website access. Allowing a tool in Work does not grant it the same access in Personal or on another Mac. The Spaces of a Sub-Space group share one installation, with its permissions and website access.

At installation​

The install review lists the permission warnings Chromium reports for the extension. Where the extension allows it, turn on Withhold website access until I grant it so the extension reaches a site only after you allow it. See Install from the Chrome Web Store.

Review access later​

  1. Open Crest Settings and select the Space in the sidebar.
  2. Select Extensions.
  3. Expand the extension's row to see its Permissions and Website Access.

Change website access​

In the expanded row, select Manage Permissions in Chromium. Chromium's page for that extension opens in the same Space, where you can change its site access and other permissions. The change applies only to this Space's installation, which every Space of its Sub-Space group shares.

Turn an extension off without removing it​

Use the Enabled switch on the extension's row. The installation and its data in the Space stay put, ready for when you turn it back on.

Remove it and its data​

Expand the row, select Remove Extension, and confirm Remove from Space. Crest removes the extension and its data from that Space, or from every Space of its Sub-Space group. Other Spaces are unchanged.

Private Spaces must be unlocked before Crest shows or changes their installed extensions.
