Associated Domains establishes specific platform relationships between apps and domains. Excessive scope can route unexpected links into the application.
Evaluation approach
Review domain associations and URL handlers together. Match path scope to shipped entitlements.
Application example
Accept only intended account-management paths. Users still need authorization for the referenced objects.
Limits and considerations
Domain association does not establish user permission for a transaction.
What to test after web changes
Review application routes, final entitlements and older-version behavior when associations change. Invalid links should lead to a controlled flow, without completing sensitive work under the wrong context.
Checks and decisions
- Inspect association files
- Narrow paths
- Test entry points
