I'm trying to add a admin role to any user when they sign up but for some reason it is not assigning the role. This is the code in the frontend config, where it creates the role and then adds the role

export const frontendConfig = () => {
    return {
        appInfo,
        recipeList: [
            EmailPasswordReact.init({
                onHandleEvent: async (context) => {
                    if (context.action === "SESSION_ALREADY_EXISTS") {
                        // TODO:
                        console.log("Session already exists")
                    } else {
                        if (context.action === "SUCCESS") {
                            if (context.isNewUser) {
                                // TODO: Sign up
                                console.log("User signed up")
                                createRole()
                                addRoleToUser(context.user.id)
                            } else {
                                console.log("User signed in")
                                // TODO: Sign in
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }),
            SessionReact.init(),
        ],

EDIT: now I am getting an error of Initialization not done. Did you forget to call the UserRoles.init or SuperTokens.init functions. and I did in the backend config. when I put it in frontend config it breaks the code so I don't have it.

hey @Sekai adding a role is done on the backend. You have added the addRoleToUser on the frontend.

Hi @rp yes that was the issue . but then how do I add the role when the user signs up? I was looking at the doc and I thought you had to do it like that.

yea there are sign up override in which you can add a role

oh I see I have to override in the backend?

Yes

Ahh ty ty

I didn’t understand this

So I have a page similar to setup in the code in the docs:

what's shown instead?

null

as in an empty screen?

oh no

right

right. After adding the user role, do

await session.fetchAndSetClaim(UserRoleClaim)

(see in here: https://supertokens.com/docs/userroles/managing-roles-and-users)

inside that backend config?

yea.. right after you do

await UserRoles.addRoleRoUser(..)

.

okay let me test this

The timing on this is great, was just looking for this exact thing. Thanks! 🙂
