public viewer needs to sign in? about grist-core HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you so much @paulfitz and the Grist team. You are very helpful, fast and willing to solve problems for the community, beyond your customers. I really appreciate this attitude. I really hope I will be able to support you financially very soon.

SAML support would be fantastic!

My ultimate goal is to be able to have a backend with Grist and a PWA as frontend.
I tried multiple solutions so far and none is fully compatible with what I want (kind of todo list with group todos). It's for my brand new non profit organization in France to develop an open world and stories embedding real life challenges (realistis.com). It's not for an external client.

In the hosted version, it must be that the public access setting didn't get saved. You need to click confirm when closing the sharing dialog for it to take effect -- could you check please?

Thanks @dsagal It works now!
I'm pretty sure I did click confirm before testing, but since it works perfectly, I'm the one to blame 😄

For the docker version, how to get public access (no default [email protected] user)?
How to use preview user / manage local users?

When I log out on the container, I get:

Hi @j2l, grist-core doesn't have a log-in system yet. It is in our roadmap to deal with this; our first priority was to make sure people could open and edit their own Grist documents locally, and our second priority is to make self-hosting easier. A good candidate for adding a log-in system yourself is https://github.com/vouch/vouch-proxy. We also have SAML support we could release, which would enable using a wide range of SSO providers - would that help?

Once you've prepared a doc, it is possible to serve it to anonymous users by restarting with something like:

docker run -p 8484:8484 --env [email protected] -v $PWD/persist:/persist -it gristlabs/grist

But I doubt that's all you need, since you ask about managing users.
