Study authentication more deeply

[maurolepore]

Tasklist

• [ ] Study and explain how to authorize users on shinyapps.io
• [ ] Study how easy/hard it would be to implement shinyproxy authentication with GH copilot.
• [ ] Study what's involved in purchasing services that include authentication. Compare shinyapps.io and positconnect.
• [ ] Study if we need to create an account for shinyapps.io/positconnect for tiltSMEs

Custom authentication page

• [ ] Study if the autentication page can be customized for colours/brand.
• [ ] Study if the autentication page can be customized to add agreement that the usage is only for research

Can I change the authentication page of shinyapps.io to match my company's branding?

shinyapps.io does not allow direct modification of the login page as it is managed by the platform. If you're leveraging shinyapps.io's built-in authentication, your customization options might be limited to what can be done within the Shiny app itself, without directly modifying the shinyapps.io login page. If you need more advanced customization, you might consider deploying your Shiny app on a custom server where you have full control over the authentication mechanism and the login page design.

I see Apsilon hacked a solution in Posit connect (similar to shinyapps.io) but it seems to require a lot of work: https://www.appsilon.com/post/custom-login-page-for-rstudio-connect Consider contacting them to ask for a quote: https://www.appsilon.com/

I see Posit connect allows for some customization of the landing page: https://docs.posit.co/connect/1.8.4/admin/appendix/custom-landing/

@Tilmon I think this has a high priority. As this is a must-have. The reason why it is a must-have is that we need the use to accept our 'Terms of references' to only use the data for research purposes. Let's discuss in the tech-sprint
