Hi everybody I have checked and found that there is the package dash-auth for Dash Authorization and Login for Python users [here](https://github.com/plotly/dash-auth). I was wondering if there is a similar package for R users or how authentication could be achieved via R. Thanks

Excellent question; we’re currently developing a dashAuth package to provide this functionality in Dash for R, and are planning to release it this autumn.

That souns great. May I ask what the current options are to host and authorise the app to various users? Is it possible to host and authorise through the Plotly site/console?

Hi everyone, are there any news on the planned release of a dashAuth package? Or as already asked are there any other options for Dash authorization in R?

We are very interested to hear about this. We were hoping to use dashR at our company but not being able to have auth like in Shiny is a no go for us.  
Many thanks for the great package

Hi, any news for the package dashAuth? We’d like to use DashR since it’s great but the authentification feature is a must for us. Many thanks!
