# DriverKit Allow Third Party User Clients

A Boolean value that indicates whether an iPadOS driver accepts calls from third-party user clients.

## Discussion

By default, an iPadOS driver accepts user-client connections from apps signed with the same team ID and the [`Communicates with Drivers`](/documentation/BundleResources/Entitlements/com.apple.developer.driverkit.communicates-with-drivers) entitlement. Set this entitlement to `true` on a driver to allow connections apps with other team IDs. The connecting apps must still have the [`Communicates with Drivers`](/documentation/BundleResources/Entitlements/com.apple.developer.driverkit.communicates-with-drivers) entitlement.
