Publishing Dash Apps Across Your Enterprise With Plotly Cloud

For organizations deploying data applications at scale, security, governance, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure are essential.

Today, we’re introducing support for team collaboration within Plotly Cloud, the best way to instantly publish and securely share Dash and Plotly Studio apps. This collaboration-focused update will bring together identity management, advanced data app development capabilities, and flexible publishing and scaling.

Publishing Dash apps at team scale

I’ve seen our community of Dash developers often hit the same wall when trying to share their work. People build powerful analytics apps that run on their machines, and then someone asks how to share it with the team.

A community member put it plainly: "My boss asked me to ensure other people can use the dashboard within the company without installing Python and Dash."

That's one app for one team. Now imagine scaling your analytics across dozens or hundreds of users, each needing the right level of access, while your IT team maintains control over authentication and security. Managing user access manually is impractical at scale.

Plotly Cloud handles this scaling challenge through enterprise features designed for organizations publishing data apps across teams. Identity management integrates with your existing systems to control app access securely and automatically. Advanced Dash capabilities give developers the tools they need for production applications. Together, these features turn individual projects into shared organizational assets.

Plotly Cloud integrates directly with your existing identity provider

Plotly Cloud supports SAML and OpenID Connect single-sign on protocols along with popular IDPs, including Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, to manage access to your team, enabling authentication with existing credentials. Imagine the benefits: your new hires can get access without setting up separate passwords, and access disappears when someone leaves.

User provisioning syncs your identity provider or a domain policy adds all logins with a matching domain to Plotly Cloud automatically. Add someone to your identity provider, and they appear in Plotly Cloud with access to apps shared across the team. Remove them, and their access vanishes. Your identity provider stays the source of truth. Domain management lets you verify your company domain and control how users with matching email addresses access your organization.

Use advanced Dash capabilities with Plotly Cloud, purpose-built for production deployment

Dash Design Kit gives your team a library of professionally designed, production-ready UI components. Instead of spending hours tweaking CSS or building common patterns from scratch, start with polished layouts, themes, navigation patterns, and interactive elements that look great out of the box. Your data apps and dashboards get a consistent, professional appearance that builds trust with users, and your developers get to focus on functionality instead of fighting with styling.

Dash OAuth Connections let your applications authenticate users and connect to external services securely. Build apps that access your users' data from Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, Google Sheets, and other platforms using proper OAuth flows. Users authorize access with their own credentials, permissions are respected, and sensitive tokens are handled securely. This opens up entirely new categories of applications, such as personalized dashboards that show users their own data, admin tools that connect to your production systems, and integrations that would otherwise require custom backend infrastructure.

Dash Embedded lets you take your Dash applications beyond Plotly Cloud and embed them directly into your own products. Add interactive analytics to your customer portal, build dashboards into your internal tools, or white-label visualizations for your clients, while Plotly Cloud handles the hosting, scaling, and infrastructure. Your users get seamless analytics experiences without ever leaving your product, and you get to ship faster without building visualization infrastructure from scratch.
