Hi folks!
Thanks for the questions, and hope I can shed some more light here. In relation to Public Apps, where you can share (or embed) a link to an unauthenticated app to anyone, Portals lets you take the existing Retool feature set (components, login, auth, permissions, branding) and make it more accessible for external use cases.
There are a few core changes that we made to let you build these portals on Retool Cloud:
- Every org now gets their own login at
subdomain.retool.com/auth/login(previously, the only entry point was through login.retool.com) - With custom domains also now available on Business, this unlocks part of letting you whitelabel your org
- And finally, we revamped our Branding settings to let you brand your email invitations and key surfaces on Retool
We're making more investments into this area to support authenticated access to Retool, for any type of user. Would love to hear your feedback on what we can be improving for these use cases!
