How easy is it to convert a proof-of-concept public application to a Retool Portal application with more standard features such as Oauth?

Hi @springstreet,
The Retool Portal itself is quite simple and easy to set up. But reading between the lines I suspect the portal may not be the difficult part. The complexity depends on several factors:
- Is this app intended as an internal app for one company, or a multitenancy app? The former is quite simple as you can, in theory, restrict log in to one domain or set up e.g. Google SSO. The latter is more complex and almost certainly will require enterprise level to achieve seamless flow (so you can use Retool events, endpoints, etc)
- Depending on the kind of Resources you have, (custom Oauth vs existing resources in retool) you may end up having to duplicate resources x each user so that you can store tokens.
- Finally, something that often is forgotten, the retool portal will be only for user in your account, so it is not possible to have people using your private apps without you having to pay for their monthly fee.
Here's another helpful post, but as you didn't provide much details then I'm not sure if this is what you needed.
