I have not signed up for a plan yet, but I am wondering how this works. I have a client who needs 50 different QR codes for student certification records. The application is built, but the question is: when an external user scans the QR code to view the student certifications, it prompts them to log in. I need my records to be publicly accessible when a potential or current employer scans my QR code. Which plan allows public access? ---

Are you using Glide Classic or GlideOS? ---

Jeff, that is a great question. I accessed the application from the website and began typing my request at the prompt on the home page. The one that I used has the AI built in to it so I don’t know if that makes a difference. ---

That would be GlideOS then. > **[Access Control - Publishing and Sharing | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/os/publishing-and-sharing#access-control)** > > All new apps are in draft mode by default.

Ok so any of the paid subscriptions will do the trick, right? I can spend $25/month and be able to publish a public link, right? ---

Yeah, I would think so. ---
