To disable or enable access to the mobile app for your instance, follow these steps:\n\n1. Open the [**Settings** page](/looker/docs/admin-panel-general-settings) in the **General** section of the **Admin** panel.\n2. In the **Feature Configuration** section of the **General Settings** page, choose **Enabled** or **Disabled** under **Mobile Application Access**.\n\n | **Note:** The **Mobile Application Access** setting applies to both the [Looker app](/looker/docs/looker-core-mobile-app) and the [Looker (Legacy) app](/looker/docs/mobile-app-legacy).\n3. Select **Update** to apply your changes.\n\nWhen the app is enabled for your instance, users can [install the app](/looker/docs/mobile-app-installation) and [sign in to your instance](/looker/docs/mobile-app-sign-in) on their mobile devices.\n\nIf you disable the **Mobile Application Access** setting for your instance, any existing mobile app sessions will be invalidated.\n\nAssigning mobile app access to specific users\n---------------------------------------------\n\nAdmins can use the [`mobile_app_access`](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#mobile_app_access) permission to grant specific users and groups access to the Looker mobile app. To grant mobile app access to a specific user or group, follow these steps:\n\n1. Ensure that mobile app access is [enabled for your Looker instance](#enabling_the_app_for_your_instance).\n2. Assign that user or group a [role](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#assigning_roles) with a [permission set](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#permission_sets) that includes the [`mobile_app_access` permission](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#mobile_app_access).\n\nUsers with the `mobile_app_access` permission can [sign in to the Looker mobile app](/looker/docs/mobile-app-sign-in) using the same authentication method that they use to sign in to your Looker instance. If a user does not have the `mobile_app_access` permission, Looker displays an error upon trying to sign in to the app.\n\nSee the [Roles](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#assigning_roles) documentation page for information about assigning roles to users or groups.\n\nForcing users to authenticate each time they log in to the mobile app\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAdmins can require users to sign back in to Looker every time they open the mobile app by enabling the **Force mobile authentication** setting in the [**General Settings**](/looker/docs/admin-panel-general-settings#force_mobile_authentication) section of the **Admin** panel. To enable this feature, follow these steps:\n\n1. Navigate to the **Settings** page in the **General** section of the **Admin** panel.\n2. Under **Force mobile authentication** , select **Enabled**.\n\nWhen **Force mobile authentication** is enabled, users will be required to sign in to Looker every time they open the app on their mobile devices. Additionally, users will be logged out of the mobile app after 60 minutes of inactivity.\n\nConsiderations for Looker (Google Cloud core) instances\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\nIf your instance is a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance that is using [private services access](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#psa) or [Private Service Connect](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#psc), your private network must be reachable by the mobile device.\n\nConsiderations for customer-hosted instances\n--------------------------------------------\n\nAdmins of [customer-hosted](/looker/docs/glossary#customer-hosted) instances should consider the following requirements when enabling the mobile app for their instance:\n\n- The web server and API endpoints must be publicly accessible or otherwise reachable by the mobile app.\n - To test connectivity, try accessing the URL of your Looker instance from a web browser on your mobile device.\n- The [API Host URL](/looker/docs/admin-panel-platform-api#api_host_url) must have the same hostname as the instance URL and serve traffic on either port 443 or port 19999. The URL should follow this form: `https://\u003cinstance_name\u003e.looker.com:\u003cport\u003e`\n\nFor additional information, see the [Looker API troubleshooting](/looker/docs/api-troubleshooting) documentation page."]]
