Hi. I’ll need to access git from my dash app. How I can to avoid issues with the private accounts, I’ll need an app account.
Do I understand correctly that I need Dash Enterprise? Tell me, what are the options to protect private data? Thanks
Hello @AlesiaSel,
I’m not sure I understood you correctly. This topic is about creating an app with user logins.
In my dash app I use tags from GitPython API. How can I secure it data?
Are there any ways to create an account for my app?
Unfortunately I don’t understand what you are referring to.
A pretty common way to hide any credentials is creating environment variables. Lately I use python-dotenv for that.
is there a way to check when app access info it does not use user account but uses app account not attached to any human?
something like this:
Service Accounts: Some services provide service accounts specifically designed for applications rather than individual users. These accounts often have restricted access but are suitable for automated processes.
This sounds like a git solution is needed, rather than a dash solution. I have a dash app that pulls configuration files from a private github repo (so not publicly accessible). To do that, I don’t use account credentials at all, but rather an access token for the repo:
which, as suggested by @AIMPED , I store in an environment variable so it’s not exposed in the app code itself. Does that seem like what you’d need for this use case?
