how to avoid authentication state changes in inplementing register method in authprovider?

i am developing a user management application. i want to enable admin users to add general users, but when adding general users with authProvider.register(), the login user of the application becomes the newly added user. Is there a way to avoid this and remain as the admin user?

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 avoid changing the authentication state of the currently logged-in admin user when registering a new general user, you need to ensure that the register method in your authProvider does not alter the current authentication state. Here’s how you can implement the register method to achieve this: 1. Implement the register method: Ensure that the register method only handles the registration logic and does not perform any actions that would change the current user's authentication state. 2. Return the appropriate response: Make sure the register method returns a resolved promise with the AuthActionResponse type, including the success key and optionally the redirectTo key if you want to redirect after registration. Here is an example implementation:

import { AuthProvider } from "@refinedev/core";

const mockUsers = [{ email: "admin@mail.com" }, { email: "user@mail.com" }];

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
    register: async ({ email }) => {
        const user = mockUsers.find((user) => user.email === email);

        if (user) {
            return {
                success: false,
                error: {
                    name: "Register Error",
                    message: "User already exists",
                },
            };
        }

        mockUsers.push({ email });

        return {
            success: true,
            redirectTo: "/users", // Redirect to a users list page or any other page
        };
    },
    // other methods like login, logout, check, etc.
};

import { AuthProvider } from "@refinedev/core";

const mockUsers = [{ email: "admin@mail.com" }, { email: "user@mail.com" }];

const authProvider: AuthProvider = {
    register: async ({ email }) => {
        const user = mockUsers.find((user) => user.email === email);

        if (user) {
            return {
                success: false,
                error: {
                    name: "Register Error",
                    message: "User already exists",
                },
            };
        }

        mockUsers.push({ email });

        return {
            success: true,
            redirectTo: "/users", // Redirect to a users list page or any other page
        };
    },
    // other methods like login, logout, check, etc.
};

In this implementation: - The register method checks if the user already exists. - If the user exists, it returns a response indicating failure. - If the user does not exist, it adds the new user to the mockUsers array and returns a success response with an optional redirection path. By ensuring that the register method does not perform any actions that would change the current authentication state (such as setting authentication tokens or updating the current user session), you can avoid the issue of the admin user being logged out or replaced by the newly registered user. For more details, you can refer to the authProvider Interface documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/authentication/auth-provider-interface/) and the register method documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider/#register). If you need to handle errors or redirection after registration, you can use the useRegister hook as described in the error handling (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/hooks/use-register/#error-handling) and redirection after register (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/hooks/use-register/#redirection-after-register) sections of the documentation. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
