Hi all,

I used a glide template for an app to hold zoom links for some university teaching we are doing during lockdowns. It has worked really well.

I put a password on it as it was a feature

Had an email today from glide saying there is soon to be a charge for any free app using passwords and if not paid they will revert to only one user at a time.

Does anyone know a) when this is coming in exactly and b) if I remove the password feature if possible will it continue to work as usual?

Thanks in advance

Could try this: [No More Private Apps for multiple Users?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/no-more-private-apps-for-multiple-users/13570/2)

Yes, Public apps can have unlimited users at the same time.

Thanks both.

This app was to see how things worked for the three weeks we had some students and it has been fab for what it was needed for

I think if we have need for a longer term use I would ask the team if we could subscribe to make it a permanent fixture and to see if there were other ways we could use glide apps
