View submission images without login as administrator

[arkhub]

Is there a way to view submitted images using API or token so user don't have to login as administrator first? case example is integrating odk central with other apps for viewing submitted forms inside that apps.

Currently I managed to access the postgre db by enabling port 5432 in yaml to outside (it's not ideal though but I just want to make proof of concept), but viewing images requires you to have login sessions in odk central.

Currently, not exactly. You can get an API token and access the attachments but currently tokens only last 24 hours and as you note you need to log in as an administrator to obtain it.

Here are the changes coming eventually that will help:

• When version 0.5.0 is released in some number of months, you will be able to grant non-administrators the ability to administer particular projects. So, you'll be able to allow particular people access only to particular projects.
• In some future version, we will introduce another project role which only allows viewing but not managing the project.
• And in some future version, we plan on implementing a fuller version of OAuth2 or similar so you can obtain long-lived permissions-scoped tokens.

that's great, is the current version running 0.4.0? because in my odk central it said 0.30 in history.

no; neither of these versions are out yet. right now the released version is 0.3.0.
