Hello!
I am wondering if there is a way to create a service that is really private so that no one, that I don't want, can not receive the notifications. I know there is a "Make Service Public" check box, but, AFAIK, this just doesn't list the service publicly, but could someone this way still somehow receive notifications without me approving? I one could, then is there a way not to?
The reason I'm asking is that I have a private web application and I would like to notify my users ("hey, this and this happened..."), but I don't want anyone else to be able to receive those notifications since this is sensitive data.
Hello!
Since notifications are sent individually to each recipient, you fully control who receives your notifications. Also, users cannot automatically subscribe themselves to any service (yet). Even if that feature becomes available, it will most likely still be disabled for private services.
Right now, only your service can initiate a subscription request to a user account, so again you have full control over who will become a subscriber.
The only point where all this may become a concern is when we release an API method that allows you to notify all of your service's subscribers at once. This feature is in development but not public yet. However to be 100% sure that only intended recipients receive the notifications you can still send them individually.
Let us know if this helps or if you need more info!
