Thanks for the input everyone. I can think of many reasons why one would want an admin app to be deployed as a different app. It has a totally different user base, functionality, SLA, deployment schedule, analytics... I'm not as concerned about what it costs as I am about being able to redeploy the admin portion whenever I want without affecting the customers. This is not something completely out of the ordinary.
I wasn't aware of this in the TOS and will have to look into it. The intention was not to avoid fees, but to separate functionality. That's an incorrect statement however, that the admin app nas no "user" parts. There are admin users who have completely different functionality and different data, they just need to be able to read/ write some data for the other app. Using a different version I guess might solve the problem. It would still be nice if someone from Google can officially weigh in on whether it's possible and if it would violate the TOS. This was not meant to be a semantic discussion of why one would want to separate functionality or how to subvert the TOS, I simply wanted to know whether this is possible -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
