Adding auth.users of Supabase within refine app
I am creating an app with an admin panel using Supabase. I want to add users to Supabase's auth.users table from within the app. How should I do this? I would like the school administrators to be able to register students (email and password) using the app. According to the Refine manual, it seems possible to add to public tables, but not to the auth table. Also, AuthProvider's register seems to be for direct user operations, so I think it's not applicable here.

Hi @takebayashi. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To add users to Supabase's
auth.users
table from within your Refine app, you can utilize the register
method provided by the authProvider
. This method is designed to handle user registration, including adding users to the auth.users
table in Supabase.
Here is a step-by-step guide to achieve this:
1. Ensure authProvider
is Set Up:
Make sure your authProvider
is correctly set up in your App.tsx
file. This is essential for handling authentication operations.

2. Implement the register
Method in authProvider
:
The register
method in the authProvider
is used to sign up new users. This method uses Supabase's signUp
method to add users to the auth.users
table.
Here is an example implementation of the register
method:

3. Create a Registration Form:
Create a form in your admin panel that allows school administrators to register students. This form should collect the student's email and password and then call the register
method from the authProvider
.
Here is an example of how you might implement this in a React component:
``tsx
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useAuthProvider } from "@refinedev/core";
const RegisterStudent = () => {
const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
const [password, setPassword] = useState("");
const authProvider = useAuthProvider();
const handleRegister = async () => {
const result = await authProvider.register({ email, password });
if (result.success) {
alert("Student registered successfully!");
} else {
alert(
Error: ${result.error.message}`);
}
};
return (
<div>
<h2>Register Student</h2>
<input
type="email"
value={email}
onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
placeholder="Email"
/>
<input
type="password"
value={password}
onChange={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)}
placeholder="Password"
/>
<button onClick={handleRegister}>Register</
