Hi, I’m using Xano as a database and for auth. I’ve connected it properly and can pull in data, however I can’t figure out how to set a user for the Editor so that when I’m binding data I can see if I’m doing it correctly.

When I go to the users tab it says “Xano Auth doesn’t support user management.”

When I look in my collections I can ee the users being pulled in from the user collection though. I tried to go through some videos on YT but I’m not finding the solution so I’m hoping someone here can let me know what I’m doing wrong.

Hi, you have to use the Xano Auth plugin, and use the login action 🙂
