I want only registered users to be allowed to login & only admin can register new users? (Next-Auth)

I don't want users to sign up themselves. I first need to check something manually, only then do i want to send them a sign-in link. I do know how to prevent anyone from logging in:

async signIn({ user, account, profile, email, credentials }) {
        const userExists = await prisma.user.findUnique({
          where: {
            email: user.email
          }
        });

        if (!userExists) {
          return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
  }

async signIn({ user, account, profile, email, credentials }) {
        const userExists = await prisma.user.findUnique({
          where: {
            email: user.email
          }
        });

        if (!userExists) {
          return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
  }

However, I now want a functionality for myself / for our backend, where I can put in the users email address and they'll get a sign-in link. Not sure how I would do that. So basically, only already registered users should be allowed to sign-in, but registration should only be up to me or an admin.

You could make a admin page with a mutation that would create the user entry, and then use whatever email service to send them an email to the site.

Ps: you can't findunique with email it must be id

why not? are u sure? it's working for me so far

Okay Not getting your point Then don't put a registration page then

plygltOP•3y ago

I dont have one but sign-in by default in next-auth registers the user

Lopen•3y ago

What you should be doing is have like an admin dashboard

plygltOP•3y ago

yeah exactly but I am not sure how to create the users for next-auth from my admin dashboard. can i just create a user with prisma, add them to the db and then next-auth will pick up on that? or will i need to go through the next-auth flow, because its creating other things in the background

Lopen•3y ago

To create a user you will need the email and whatever you require So the flow is still there But this time the flow will be on the admin dashboard

plygltOP•3y ago

but it stills goes through next-auth, right? How do I trigger this then, as my admin dashboard will be on a different domain sorry i think i'm a bit stuck, it's probably super obvious

Lopen•3y ago

Is it a credentials based system? Next auth is usually for sign in To create a row its a function outside Been on a different domain doesn't mean anything You can still use same database

plygltOP•3y ago

yeah true but i am using email magic links so next-auth will use whatever domain i am on to send the link, i think

Lopen•3y ago

Never used that But i think you can use the signIn function provided by next auth on the admin front-end to do all you need

ok i'll try that! thanks a lot
