1. Introduction

uberAPPS is the integrated software and services store that allows you to add, run and maintain a growing range of tools from within uberSVN, turning it into your all singing, all dancing development hub.

This guide runs through the inner workings of uberAPPS, to give you an overview of how to buy and setup applications and services.

2. Store

The uberAPPS showroom.

The store page is where available apps and services are displayed. Click on the app's logo or its 'more info' link to get more details. Users who don't have any special permissions will only see a store tab, the table below shows which user permissions correspond with additional uberAPPS tabs.

Important
On a fresh install of uberSVN 11.8, the system admin (the account created during the installation) is automatically given the new uberAPPS User permission, which is required for making purchases. However, when moving from an earlier version to 11.8 using the updater, the system admin account is not automatically given the uberAPPS User permission.

uberAPPS User permission is enabled from the Permissions tab of a user's profile.
