@fullmetal-fred/node-red-dashboard-2-cloudflare-auth 0.1.7
When used with Cloudflare Access authentication, this plugin will pass the email address of an authenticated user into the _client object under _client.user.email
Enables Cloudflare Access user auth information to be passed to Node-RED.
This authentication plugin was made for the fantastic Node-RED Dashboard 2 project by FlowFuse. It enables those using Cloudflare Access to receive user information such as email address in Node-RED anytime they interact with Dashboard elements. This can be useful for configuring authorization (authz) rules, or for per-user scoped reads/writes, etc.
