Create a user from the dashboard.

[ricardosikic]

Hello, I have a dashboard in my app through which I can add new users to the app. I understand that the signUp function should be used so that they go to auth.users and trigger the configured triggers. But when I test the functionality, it automatically logs me in to the new account I created from the superadmin, so it logs me out of superadmin, so to speak, and shows me the home for the created user. The code I used is as follows:

const createNewUserMunicipality = async(name, email, muniId) => {

    try {
      const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp(
        {
          email: email,
          password: '12345678',
        },
        {
          data: {
            username: name
          }
        }
      )
      setCreatedUserId(user.id);
      createRelationOnUserRolesTable(user.id, muniId);
    } catch (err) {
      console.log('There was an error creating user municipality', err);
    }
  }

Is this the correct way to add new users from the app's administrator dashboard?

You should look at admin.createUser https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/auth-admin-createuser .

Note it has to be run server side as it needs service_role key.

Thanks @GaryAustin1 wow its only for v2?

[GaryAustin1]

It was in version 1 also. https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/v1/auth-admin-createuser . Looks like the docs for v1 are not working well anymore. You should not be using v1 though as it was deprecated almost a year and 1/2 ago.

@ricardosikic Hi Rick, I'm facing the same issue. I'm trying to create a new user for the dashboard and retrieve all user data onto my dashboard, but it's not working. When I run the code, it returns an empty array. Here's my code:
try {
const { data: { users }, error } = await supabase.auth.admin.listUsers();
console.log('Data:', users);
} catch (error) {
// Catch any unexpected errors during the process
console.error('Unexpected error:', error.message);
}
Could you please help me correct it?

Have you used service_role_key to use that create-user function?

@ricardosikic yes its working thanks because now i am using the service_role_key instead of the anon and one more question when i deploy the vercel code i found the error "This Edge Function has crashed." but on my local machine everything is fine can you help me
