ClearBlade developers may be granted access here if it is desired to share this system with them. System ownership can be changed as well. The override fields allow customization in the authentication and registration processes. The system can be deleted in the settings modal.
Sharing
Systems are designed to be highly customizable. A system can be exported and imported. This allows scaling with ClearBlade to be very easy. Developers can create their IPM package for other developers to use for their use cases.
Export a system from the system’s homepage to a new GitHub repository or download it as a ZIP file onto your device. The system can be imported by CLI (recommended) or by creating a new system.
