Yes, though currently their users will have to have Google accounts (you can create a Google account for any email address by going to https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount) in order to sign in, since you can only set your app to work with Google accounts or one specific domain's accounts. Alternately, you can work around this limitation by using OpenID, but this is rather cumbersome. > > I don't want to create, maintain and update a separate app for each > and every one of my customers... how can I share the app with my > client domains keeping a separate datastore and auth setup for each of > them? If you're using the approach outlined above, you'll need to enforce separation in your datastore yourself - for example, by restricting records based on the Host header the site is accessed through, and/or the hostname of the user who's logged in.
