Unique Users

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

App is on the free plan so I’m not super clear if any security is supported at all.

Unique users is shown as 2:

However, authentication is required and the app has only one valid user listed.

This app is deployed for testing and in that mode I understood all features would be available, e.g. Machine Learning. So I expected that security would work as well. I read the notes about guest users but I don’t understand how I could have a guest user if auth is required and “Allow all signed-in users” is disabled.

How is it that I can get a unique user count of 2 if auth is required and the user list is a single identity? I expected a unique user count of one.

Thanks, when I looked at this I noticed that it states, “This system user account does not count towards your active users”, so can it explain the unique user count?

Thanks, I guess the underlying message in this is don’t worry about it.
