Trust Mods globally from a single point.

We want to trust individual Mods globally for all users from a single point (eg Administrator). Right now the options seem to be

  1. Trust the mod developer globally

  2. Have users trust each mod themselves

Q: Is there a way to trust a mod globally for all users? Without involving the author?

Neither of the above options is a good solution. If the mod developer leaves and their account becomes disabled or removed, we believe that the mod will no longer be trusted. Bad. We do not want to have to have the users trust each and every mod they encounter, because they will not know if it should or should not be trusted, and we do not want to burden them with unnecessary complexity.

It does not seem that mods work the same way as scripts. they should.

We need to have Admin control over mod trust without involving an ephemeral username.

    With Spotfire 14.7 and later, administrators can now use the command re-sign-mod to easily re-sign mods—whether stored in the library or as local .mod files—using a designated account, ensuring consistent trust across all environments. Learn what's new in Spotfire 14.7.

    Hello
    I'm totally agree.
    It's too difficult to find a way to trust a mod globally for all user by a group of signers.
    If the signer of the mods is out of the company, it is necessary to find the code rebuild the manifest resign, ...
    Please give us a solution to do that
