Hi, I have a question. I am creating a login for a company dashboard. Right now anybody can sign up and sign in, but I want that the user account has to be approved (just one time) before to log in. Is there a way to do it. I am using email and password authentication

So will you be creating the user's account + adding some password for them manually before? Or just allowing whitelisted emails to sign up?

just allowing whitelisted emails to sign up

you can do that by overriding the sign up API and before calling the original implementation, check if the input email is whitelisted or not

Thank you

@kalibcheil0320 Did you override the frontend or backend to implement this? If you have a snippet to share I would appreciate it

@.gidgiddoni you need to override then backend’s signUp function.

@kalibcheil0320 Thanks for responding! I have this on my backend config but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there something I am missing? https://gist.github.com/GideonStowell/0fd02235264bf64edc0af502c111d58b

Can you add a console log in that function and see if it gets printed?

I did and it doesn't get printed. I thought maybe it was because I was overriding the

thirdPartySignUpIn

function but I am testing using a email and password to login. So I tried overriding the

emailpasswordSignIn

function but I a,m getting the same result. It won't print anything to the logs

Are you calling the sign up or sign in api?

I just updated the gist to show what I am trying rn. I think I am using the emailPasswordSignUp/In api correctly

Hmm. You should check the types from the lib to confirm you are doing it correctly

How do I enable those logs?

Troubleshooting section in docs

Okay cool. Turning on those logs I can now see the

input

getting logged. Also I have a type error so this gives me somewhere to troubleshoot.. thanks!!

👍

In case anyone else finds this thread this example in the docs shows another way of doing this by overriding the POST apis. https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/advanced-customizations/apis-override/custom-response/general-error
