User Authentication & Registration

[fayazv]

The project requires user authentication. There will be an Admin who will create sub-admin accounts for each stakeholder, the sub-admin will be responsible to create user accounts for the stakeholder accounts.

Have found some references to user authentication, but required some assistance implementing:

• Handling User Authentication With Angular and Flask - uses sqlite not mongodb
• Flask-Login

Flask-Login looks like a reasonable choice, but be advised that this will be a major undertaking. Taarifa is not currently geared for any kind of authentication, neither on the frontend nor on the API.

Note that securing the frontend will not really help if the API still allows unauthenticated access.

Thanks for clarifying. The data that will be in the platform is very critical and has to be carefully handled. Hence, the authentication has to be in place.

I can start working on the front-end authentication and later we could see how to implement authentication on the API.
