# Deployment

Source: https://www.potatoannotator.com/docs/deployment/overview

These pages cover running Potato for annotators other than yourself.

[Local Development](/docs/deployment/local-development) is enough for a pilot with a few people you can hand a URL to. [Production Setup](/docs/deployment/production-setup) covers the rest: process management, a [reverse proxy](/docs/deployment/reverse-proxy), and persistent storage.

Authentication takes a different route depending on who your annotators are. Institutional accounts go through [SSO and OAuth](/docs/deployment/sso-oauth), managed accounts through [Password Management](/docs/deployment/password-management), and crowdworkers through the passwordless links described in [Crowdsourcing Integration](/docs/deployment/crowdsourcing).

[Task Assignment](/docs/deployment/task-assignment) decides who sees which items, and [Heterogeneous Annotator Coverage](/docs/deployment/heterogeneous-coverage) covers the case where different annotators should see different amounts.
