What is a SharePoint App?
• A SharePoint app is a custom solution for SharePoint that runs entirely outside any
SharePoint server processes
• App Model Design Goals:
– Apps must be supported both on-premises and in the cloud
– App code never runs within the SharePoint host environment
– App code accesses SharePoint data through web services
– App code is authenticated and runs under a distinct identity
– Apps are published in app catalogs and Office Store
– Tenants must be separated
