# Creator mode

<InfoBox>

Available on the [Enterprise plan](https://cube.dev/pricing).

</InfoBox>

Creator mode embeds the full Cube application instead of an individual dashboard or chat. Users can create and modify workbooks, dashboards, and reports inside the iframe.

To enable it, pass `creatorMode: true` to the [Generate Session API][ref-generate-session].

## Embed tenant scoping

In creator mode, content (workbooks, dashboards) and the groups/user attributes referenced by the session are scoped to an **embed tenant**. Pass `embedTenantName` to isolate content per customer; omit it to use the current tenant.

`embedTenantName` must be lowercase, 5–36 chars, start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and contain only `a-z`, `0-9`, or `-`.

## Provisioning groups and user attributes

In creator mode, `groups` and `userAttributes` resolve against the embed tenant's scoped catalog (separate from the tenant-wide one used by read-only embedding). To define those entries from your backend in the same call, pass `groupDefinitions` and `userAttributeDefinitions` — they are idempotent and validated before memberships and values are applied.

See [Generate Session → Creator mode bootstrap][ref-bootstrap] for the input shape, value types, and the immutable-`type` rule on attribute definitions.

## Example

```javascript
const session = await fetch(
  "https://your-account.cubecloud.dev/api/v1/embed/generate-session",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Api-Key ${API_KEY}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      deploymentId: 32,
      externalId: "user@example.com",
      embedTenantName: "acme-corp",
      creatorMode: true,
    }),
  },
);

const { sessionId } = await session.json();
```

Embed the app with the returned session ID:

```html
<iframe
  title="Cube App"
  src="https://your-tenant.cubecloud.dev/embed/d/{deploymentId}/app?session={sessionId}"
  width="100%"
  height="800"
></iframe>
```
