Share JSL scripts but avoid unintentional tinkering of the scripts

I have prepared a bunch of JSL scripts (on JMP 13) which are designed to pull test data from the database and generate a journal report.

There is a main script and there are other other scripts and functions which the main script and other scripts call.

I would like to share my scripts to other JMP users in my group so that they can run the main script to generate the necessary journal reports. 

However, I do not want them to mistakenly modify the other scripts or tinker with them.

 

Is there a way to pack the JSL script so that only the main script is visible to users and other associated scripts reside in a folder or even better not visible to the user of the main script? 

 

When it's too good to be true, it's neither

I'm not sure if JMP13 does allow it, but you could encrypt the script files and then build an addin.

Thanks @jthi. Where could I find some examples on how to encrypt files and build an addin?

You can also make the script set to auto-run so that it does not open in the Script Editor. You could also save the script to a shared drive and use a file path to refer to it in a custom menu item or toolbar item.
