Hello Community,  
I'm creating a node-red flow with a dashboard that will be used for several people, and my idea is only to give the access to [http://127.0.0.1:1880/ui/](http://127.0.0.1:1880/ui/) to avoid that the development part can be changed.  
I'm wondering if someone can give me an idea how to do it?  
There is a different way to do, is to create a package exe with electron-node-red. Bu I cannot find a tutorial to beginners.  
Will appreciate your help.  
Thanks

The docs on securing Node-RED are here: [Securing Node-RED : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red)

With that you can password protect the editor to prevent unauthorised access.

You can also move things around so the dashboard is served from `/` and the editor on `/editor`.
