Private published apps add authentication to your Replit Apps without requiring any code changes. When enabled, Replit restricts access to your app using a Replit login screen. Only logged in members of your Organization that have access can use the site.
Private Deployments are available only to Teams subscribers. Your Replit App must be in a Team workspace to use Private Deployments.
Restricted app access is useful for project types including the following:
  • Internal tools
  • Apps in the beta testing phase
  • Apps that access sensitive information
