The easiest way to set up authentication

Hi there!
I am creating app for use within our organization and I need to create authentication.
What is the easiest way to create an authentication, so that I can save the users' details and give them certain permissions?

Hey @Felix_Prehn!

Retool has built-in permissions on the Business and Enterprise plans which you can read more about here. Apart from that, each resource type comes with its own form of authentication, many of which can be user-based (here are some docs on API authentication).

Some people have created log-in apps that store user-specific information in localStorage for use in other apps. Note though, that on the Free and Team plans each person in your org will have edit access and can potentially use that to bypass some of the auth setups you create!
