Introduction
Normally, we recommend that Infowise Ultimate Forms is deployed to the Tenant App Catalog usign our Wizard. However, there are times when that is not possible for some customers where there are stricter governance around what can be deployed to the tenant app catalog.
As a alternative way to accommodate this, we can take suggest using a Site Collection App Catalog. This will work similar to the Tenant app catalog.
Note: When using a Site Collection App Catalog, if you have Ultimate Forms deployed here and in the Tenant App Catalog, know that all your sites under this site collection will be using the version of Ultimate Forms from the Site Collection App Catalog.
Create a Site Collection App Catalog
You will need first create the Site collection App Catalog on your Site Collection. Below is the powershell script that you can run (using your site collection admin account) to create the app catalog in your site collection.
Create Site Collection App Catalog in SharePoint Online using PowerShell:
You can also setup Site Collection App Catalog instead of Tenant App Catalog, so that solutions are deployed only in the selected site collection. Also, this prevents other sites from having access to the Apps.
#Define Variables
$AdminCenterURL = "https://<your tenant name>-admin.sharepoint.com"
$AppCatalogURL="https://.sharepoint.com/sites/"
