I want to reuse the credentials for my User Management Dashboard for another Admin Dashboard in my App. Is there a method that is exposed that I can use to validate against the dashboard user from my node backend?

hey @adriansteffan - @nkshah2 can help here

Hey @adriansteffan , Just so I understand correctly, you want to create a user dashboard credential and then also use the same credential to log in to the admin app? Or the other way around?

Hey 🙂 I have already created the Supertokens dashboard user with the curl command. I want to use that user (/his credentials) to authenticate with my other admin app. The Admin app has me implement an "autenticate" method that gets credentials from the admin dashboard at login and returns true/false. I now want to call on Supertokens inside this method to check if the credentials provided match with the already created dashboard user.

Right so the backend SDK does not expose a function for this but you can query the core directly yourself and implement it that way. You can refer to the API spec for the sign in API exposed by the SuperTokens core here: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/supertokens/CDI/2.20.0#/Dashboard%20Recipe/signInDashboardUser

Thanks a lot, the documentation is actually really helpful! I got it working in like 10 lines of code 🙂

Happy to help
