I’m looking to put an app on Google Cloud (basically going to convert a visual basic project into Javascript and then upload it.) I want to start a subsciption service for a cloud-based application and it’s not going to be gargantuan by any stretch of the imagination. Very small (read: not tons of columns or huge amounts of data) and just want to give users an option.

I signed up today and noticed there were 3 options for authentication. However, I don’t see alternatives (example: authentication based on a confirmed paid customer account).

Am I to assume that there’s no other way to limit access for a Google App Engine app (for proprietary reasons)?

    You can limit access to whoever you want, you’ll just have to track users somehow and give them a token of some sort that gives them access, or not.

    I’ve done a small forum using webapp2 sessions. Each user gets a persistent ID they can retrieve via logging in with a username and password, and only if they have an ID on the right list can they access certain content.

    # To set a value:
self.session[username] = 'Paid'

# To get a value:
is_paid = self.session.get(username)

    Perhaps (I’ve not used it) have a look at app engine boilerplate, it has lots of login options you could use. App Engine Boilerplate |
