#3617

Description

As a: FlowFuse User

I want to: have the possibility to share my Node-RED Editor publicly via a Link

So that: others with the link can review my flows and help me debug a problem.

Which customers would this be availble to

Everyone - CE/Starter/Team/Enterprise

Acceptance Criteria

• Add an Authentication method "Public" to allow the sharing of Node-RED Editor links.
• Ensure that users with no FlowFuse account can access the Editor with the correct link, facilitating broader collaboration.
• Restrict non-FlowFuse users to "Viewer" access only, to maintain the integrity and security of the flows being shared.

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

I have provided an initial effort estimate

So that: others with the link can review my flows and help me debug a problem.

That would only work if one could "fork" it and run one-self

Just to update on this as it's the only outstanding issue for #3617 - I think that the value of this feature only really comes into it's own if we have a "Free" tier of FlowFuse. Otherwise, spinning up instances to share flows for forum debugging, etc. feels a very expensive use of resource.
