Auth
The Arcade Contacts toolkit uses the Google auth provider to connect to users’ Google accounts.
With the hosted Arcade Engine, there’s nothing to configure. Your users will see Arcade
as the name of the application that’s requesting permission.
With a self-hosted installation of Arcade, you need to configure the Google auth provider with your own Google app credentials.
