Do I need a Scale Plan to Use Authentication?

Ask us anything

Hi,

I’m about to publish a small app where users need to log in to access a page. But I just found out that to manage roles and permissions, I have to upgrade to the $149/month (Scale) plan. Is this really necessary, or can I use authentication with the Starter plan?

Thanks for your help!

You can use authentication with the starter plan. :smile:

Ideally, your content shouldn’t be hardcoded in the page, and should fetch using user credentials.

You can also do an on-page workflow to redirect the user if they’re not authed.

Hello Micah,

Indeed, I removed the roles and was able to publish the site temporarily. Thank you for your comment! :blush: I will use your feedback to see how I can make the missions visible only to the freelancers I have designated.

Best regards,
Omar :wave:

Hi Omar,

You can totally manage this with your backend and have public pages if you choose. What backend are you using?

Not really, you can do this with just workflows

Hello,
During registration, clients and freelancers must be separated into two distinct categories. The offer will not be accessible to everyone, but only to freelancers who have a subscription and whom I deem suitable for the mission. Once the client has uploaded the necessary documents, authorization must be given to the designated freelancer so they can begin the work. For your information, I use Xano to manage these features.

Awesome! Yea – you can do all this with standard RBAC within Xano and creating the right table relationships and endpoints. Focus on the triangle - users/roles/permissions

Hope this helps.
