(From end users point of view)

And then to create a user via an admin, you can create your own api guarded so that only an admin can call it, and then in there, call the signUp Function exposed by the recipe you use.

do i need to disable frontend sign up component or backend sign up api ? if the former, can a user still use api/auth manually ? if the latter, can sign up api still be used in another part of the code ?

You should disable the backend for sure.

But then if you don’t disable the frontend, the that UI will show and it will be misleading to your users
