propelauth

PropelAuth provides end-to-end managed user authentication specializing in B2B use cases.

Overview

Dashboard

PropelAuth gives you the information you need to know about your users upfront so you can make decisions quickly.

Insights

PropelAuth is an authentication provider designed specifically to get products live quickly.

Hosted Pages

PropelAuth's hosted pages and client libraries greatly reduce the time it takes to integrate

How To Integrate

Organizations are groups of your users that will use your product together.

Organizations

RBAC, short for role based access control, is a method where you assign each user a role. You can then determine what they have access to based on their role.

Roles (RBAC)

Roles (RBAC) and Permissions

When a user visits your frontend application, your frontend can make a request to PropelAuth to determine if the current user is logged in.

How our authentication works

An access token is a string that uniquely identifies a user. It is called an access token because it is used to give your users access to your product.

Making Authenticated Requests

Once you are done integrating and testing, it's time to go live.

API Key Authentication

PropelAuth supports authentication in applications developed using NextJS version 13. This guide provides a simple way to integrate your Next.js application (either App Router or Pages) with PropelAuth.

User impersonation allows you to sign in as one of your users, to help them troubleshoot issues or see what they see.

Testing Your Backend

Webhooks allow you to reliably receive an HTTP request when a specific action occurs, like a user signing up, joining an organization, or having their role change.

Setting Up Webhooks

Users always have an email address and id. You can enable additional fields like name, username, or profile picture in your dashboard.

Custom User Schema

User schema

PropelAuth's account pages also include 2FA enrollment for your end users.

When you are in the early stages of your business, you might want to onboard customers manually instead of having open signups.

Disable public signups

When a new user signs up, you likely want to be notified quickly. Typically, this might just be a message in Slack notifying you that a user has signed up.

Slack notifications

If you switch your auth provider, there are a few major considerations to take into account.

Social login (SSO) allows your users to login using their existing accounts (e.g. Google, Facebook, Twitter). It makes signing up simpler for your users, as they don't have to remember a password.
