Integrating Custom Authentication

Account and User Management
,
1

Hello, I'm currently working on a custom authentication features with Retool and need some guidance. Our setup involves using our own authentication system after the standard Retool authentication process. Here are the specific challenges I'm facing:

  1. Is it possible to skip Retool's native authentication and solely use our custom authentication system, while still allowing customers to access the apps?
  2. Post-authentication, I need to assign customers to specific custom permission groups. What's the best approach for this in Retool?
  3. I want to create dynamic landing pages for each customer based on their data. Could anyone provide insights on how to configure this in Retool?

Any tips, documentation links, or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello @sam_lay, welcome to the forum! :wave:

Here is how we can help with the current challenges:

​
1. It is possible to skip Retool's native authentication, but only on an Enterprise plan, by setting up a Single Sign-On (SSO). Feel free to book a demo if you would like to see Retool's full potential with our top tier plan! :racing_car:
​
2. Granular user permissions are achievable with "Permission Groups" on Business plan and above. :briefcase:
​
3. Once we have different permissions set up for different user groups, we can totally redirect each group to a different homepage. Here is a doc on how to do it. In addition, I invite you to check this topic, where I demonstrate how to set this up step by step.
