Creating User Collections #

User Collection #

A User Collection extends a Collection, adding the functionality needed to authenticate users with your app. You can create one by choosing "User Collection" when adding a Resource.

Properties #

User Collections can have the same properties as a Collection, with two additional non-removable properties:

  • username - The user's identifier; must be unique.
  • password - An encrypted password. It can never be retrieved from the database, only queried against.

In addition to the above constraints, these two properties can only be modified by:

  • A session authenticated as that user
  • An internal request, such as a call from an event.
  • A root request
