Introducing Amazon Q Apps with private sharing

Amazon Q Apps, a capability within Amazon Q Business to create lightweight, generative AI-powered apps, now supports private sharing. This new feature enables app creators to restrict app access to select Amazon Q Business users, providing more granular control over app visibility and usage within organizations.

Previously, Amazon Q Apps could only be kept private for individual use or published to all users of the Amazon Q Business environment through the Amazon Q Apps library. Now app creators can share their apps with specific individuals allowing for more targeted collaboration and controlled access. App users with access to shared apps can find these apps in the Amazon Q Apps Library and run them. Apps shown in the library respect the access set by the app creator so those are visible only to selected users. Private sharing enables new functional use cases. For instance, a messaging-compliant document generation app may be shared company-wide for anyone in the organization to use, while a customer outreach app could be restricted to individuals of the sales team only. Private sharing also opens up possibilities for app creators to gather early feedback from a small group of users before wider distribution of their app.

Amazon Q Apps with private sharing is now available in the same regions where Amazon Q Business is available.
