Implementing create new user in auth.users in supabase

Ask us anything How do I?

Hello everyone.

Our team is building an MVP where a key feature is, an user (admin) can create multiple other users (by email and password).

I am using the Supabase, and Supabase Auth pluggins. Now, the sign up with email and password onviously changes the logged in users (admin’s) session, which makes sense as it wasn’t made for this use case of creating other users.

The pluggins do not give access to the supabase.auth.admin.createUser() method as far as I have tried, and also, the method requires service_role mentioned in the supabase docs, and I couldn’t find a way to add that config to the supabase pluggin.

I’ve also tried out creating a backend function add_user to add a new user to the auth.users table (which works in supabase sql editor), but unfortunately doesn’t work (permission denied) in case of .rpc call by the supabase pluggin instance.

Considering I am new to weweb and no-code in general, am I missing some actions given by these pluggins? So, in this case, I am wondering what could be the course of action in building out this feature.

Any kind of suggestions or insights would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We solved this in the DMs. The issue mostly is that the methods are unavailable due to WeWeb running the SDK v1.

Hello I have the same issue and I am trying to find instruction on how to create a form in order for admin to create a new user with a temporary password and role using Supabase.

When a new user is added they would get a tempory password and would need to change it upon first login.

What is the best way to make that ?

Is there any documentation availaible ?

Thanks

I’m interested in how this would work as well @Broberto

You would need to implement a custom solution as Supabase doesn’t provide this out of the box. We did this on a few projects, but it’s really something that usually is tailored to your needs.
