Yes, this is how I have implemented it for now. It is twisted, but at least it works till GME provides a cleaner approach. I published the code at http://dynamicauth.googlemashups.com/ - incase anyone wants to see how it works.

One thing to note is that you can currently have different pages in your app, some of which require authentication and some do not (you can provide a "public" landing page that links to "authentication required" pages that contain edit functionality. The user would only be prompted to log in when going to a protected page for the first time.

Hello, I'd like to bring up the concept of authentication in GME
as it stands today, it looks like one can only decide statically whether the app should be 'authenticate=true' or 'false'.
I think this should be dynamic in nature, or, controls that need authentication should prompt for authentication when activated.
Consider for example, the TaskList example. If I change it to authenticate=false, then the edit button disappears.
Apparently, to edit data, GME requires a user to be logged in. I think
this should be up to the application developer. Furthermore, there
should be an option to do dynamic authentication. In the current
mechanism, if I write an app with auth=true, one needs to log in
otherwise the app is not visible. This is a problem for viewers who do
not have a google acct (nor do they want to sign up for one).- Hide quoted text
