User accounts

Add sign-up and login for your app's end users. The auth service runs alongside your app and keeps its users in the app's own database. User accounts are available on every plan, including Free.

Enable

Open the app's tab and turn on End-user authentication.

• Your app needs a database first. If it doesn't have one, enabling auth turns one on for it.
• User accounts are permanent. Once on, authentication cannot be turned off — it holds your end users' identities for the life of the app.
• It activates on your next deploy. Until then the app shows Pending deploy.

Configure

There is little to set up beyond enabling. You manage your end users from the Users table: search by email, filter by active / banned / unconfirmed, and ban, unban, reset a password, confirm an email, or delete a user.

Wire

Your app talks to the auth service to sign users up, log them in, and read the current user.

You don't write this by hand. The dashboard's agent setup gives you a wiring prompt to paste into your coding agent. A connected agent can pull the same prompt itself with the generate_feature_prompt tool — auth must be enabled in the dashboard first. After wiring, deploy to pick it up.

Your database

With user accounts on, an auth schema appears in your app's database. The platform owns that schema; your app can read from it and keeps its own tables separately. See what runs here for how your app's database is laid out.
