User Management in Softr

Hello folks. I am getting started in Softr and I am trying to get some clarity on the User Management.

I know Softr has an internal module to manage users, but I want to create a customized User Management so my B2B customer can self manage their users without needing to have access to Softr Studio itself.

Features I am interested in:

  • Send an invite to users so they get an email and create their own password.
  • Tag them as “active” once they accept the invitation.
  • Sign in will only be possible for users who are active

Is it possible to do the above in Softr?

Thanks @Jjenglert

Would you mind giving me a hint on how to do that?

Even though we have a user module in Softr, the users are still managed and stored in your database like normal.

So if you’re using something like Airtable, you can create an automation that uses Softr’s API to create a new user, and email that user their magic link to log in.

Then, using page rules in Softr, make it so users that don’t have a status of “active” can only see a certain page after logging in. Otherwise, active users go to the main page “dashboard”.

For the active status, there are several different ways to do this, one of which would be to either use Softr’s one click update button to update the status of the user, or to create an automation in Airtable that detects when a field changes, and to update the status of the user.

Hope this helps!
