Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Any idea when the User beforeCreate will be available that was mentioned in this Youtube video?

It would be great for disabling signups without having to add so hook which deletes users afterwards as a hacky workaround.

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to disable public signup for a Firebase account. We still want large anonymous public reads but we do not want accounts.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We are using a hook which checks if the account exists in another collection before allowing the creation and then deleting it afterwards if it does not.

Additional context

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hey @madhavajay the feature is still in a limited alpha release. We are still testing it.

[madhavajay]

@bojeil-google any chance we can get into an early beta for it? 🤗 👍

Regarding #875 (comment) is there a change? since we would like to use firebase but we will not use it if there is no easy way to disable signups and will use other provider like auth0 .

This feature which is for some reason not implemented like many other auth provider did is the only thing that prevents me from choosing Firebase authentication.

We need this as well to set custom claims before the first token (upon registration) has been issued

@bojeil-google It was teased 17 months ago!! How come it's not available yet? Geez guys, if you're gonna tease a new feature, tease it at most 3 months before release or something. It's been almost 2 years now. Not cool.

The wait is finally over. We just launched blocking functions support to GA. We apologize for the delay and we hope the additional capabilities (including one of my favorite features: forwarded IdP / OAuth credentials / claims) that we added since we announced the feature will make up for it.

Hmm, so to use beforeCreate we would have to migrate from Firebase auth to Identity Platform?

Hey @rocketraman you would need to upgrade to Identity Platform to access this feature. The differences between both services are documented here.
