admin page access when all apps are public (`authentication: none`)

Open MalditoBarbudo opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Is there a way to have an authenticated user to access the admin page while maintaining all apps public?

For example:

proxy:
  users:
    - name: gandalf
      password: youshallnotpass
      groups: magicians
  admin-groups: magicians
  authentication: none

Would this configuration allow gandalf user to access the admin page while allowing unauthenticated users to access the apps?

I'm aware of #330 and the impossibility of having both apps, autheticated and public, in the same shinyproxy instance. But this is not quite the same as all apps are public in this case, but access to the admin page is needed for the shinyproxy server admin.

Hi

This is currently not possible, but it is something we would like to introduce. In fact, it's very similar to implementing #330 , so we will probably better implement them at the same time. Although we will probably implement this at some point, the feature isn't currently on our roadmap. If you have a high need for this, you could consider our commercial support to implement the feature (note that in any case the feature will become open-source). Of course, PRs implementing this are also welcome :)
