# Enabling Canvas Personal Apps within an Organization

The administrator of an organization controls whether users can install canvas personal apps within that organization. Before attempting to create a canvas personal app, verify that the organization administrator has enabled canvas personal apps.

Here's how the organization administrator enables canvas personal apps.

1.  From Setup, enter `Connected Apps` in the `Quick Find` box, then select the option for managing connected apps.

2.  Next to App Access Settings, click **Edit**.

3.  Select the **Allow users to install canvas personal apps** checkbox.

4.  Click **Save**.


After the administrator has done these steps, you can designate your canvas app as a canvas personal app. For details, see [Making an App a Canvas Personal App](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/canvas-framework/guide/canvas-personal-app-create.md#making-an-app-a-canvas-personal-app).
