New Post: SharePoint Provider Hosted App - Property Bag

Thanks for answering Vesa :) The real issue here is why a user locally with contrib rights can modify the property bags, while the App contex with Write permissions deny the same action.

Using JSOM from an app web against the host web if you only have Write permissions also blocks changing the property bag - as expected.

So for an app which you want to distribute via the App store you are left with provisioning a page to the host web, then open that one in a dialog window from the app web in order to run as the current users permissions. An unneeded step in my opinion.

And I'm all over Yammer and user voice :) Might just pitch the idea to open up more permissions under Write.

Thanks,
