Hello,

In my application, I have a table that displays data related to a user.

exemple :

  • user demo = 12, 45, 78
  • user 1 = 19, 21,30
  • user 2 = 73, 81, 9

It works very well live on my application, but I’m wondering how to proceed when I’m in the weweb editor to log in as a demo user in order to visually see the data. At the moment, I can’t see anything in the editor because the xano authentication does not provide a valid token.

What could be the solution to this problem?

Thanks for your answer :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m not sure to understand. You can’t use your login page in the editor ? Your login action doesn’t work ?

hello alexis, yes I use the login page in the editor to connect however I was wondering if there wasn’t an alternative in a xano auth configuration to connect automatically?

Not at the moment. But its a good suggestion. What you could do instead is set an On App Load workflow, add a login action and a path through so the action is triggered only in the editor. You can bind the variable browser->environment inside the explorer. The issue with this method is your demo hardcoded email/password will be readable by any hacker in your app. Because the workflow even if not executed will still be there in the published code.
