Create Account for Another User (No longer Needed)
Deborah Hearne
This feature is built-in to Adalo. There was a user error on my part. This is no longer needed.
Right now, each user must create their own accounts. If you try to create an account for another user, it logs you in as that user. I would like the ability for users such as administrators to create accounts for other users.

You should search this on YouTube. I am fairly confident that I saw something like this a while ago. Their explanation was to use it to invite someone into your company as a team member. I believe you have to input the email you want them to use and it blocks all others from creating an account under your business.
Deborah Hearne
Carlton Black: They still have to create the account. I am looking for where an admin can create multiple accounts like what you can do on Netflix. A parent has an account and there are sub accounts with access. This feature is available on Bubble.io.

Deborah Hearne: Hello ! There is a way to do this in Adalo but you will need to follow a process.
You will need to create a master account ( it can be the first account). Within the app you can add a button that will link to a page where you will have a form to create a new account. In the users collection you could create add one boolean to set it the user is a master user and a relation to the same collection (many to many).

Georgios Grigoriadis: The issue is when a user creates an account for another user, he us logged in as that user. Example: Bob us logged in. He creates an account for Jane. Bob is now logged in as Jane insteadof being logged in as Bob.

Deborah Hearne: you could log out the user once you select the other user.
Deborah Hearne
Georgios Grigoriadis: That means each time Bob creates a new user account he has to log back in. That isn't good for the user experience when there can be a system for users to create accounts for others like there is on Bubble.io.

Deborah Hearne: no, what I mean is that you could have a page with a list where appears all the users connected to the master account. When the user select another user from the list, the current user is disconnected and you will have to connect with the other user.
But if I’m not mistaken you want to connect automatically to the other user?
Deborah Hearne
Georgios Grigoriadis: No. That is not what I want. I want an admin account to be able to create a brand new account for someone like you can do with Netflix. For example, I have a parent with three children. They create an account for each child. What happens is that if an admin creates an account, the admin is signed in as the user they created the account for.

Deborah Hearne: I see, you do this by creating a custom form and attach to the button the « Create a User » action. Otherwise you can check https://www.nocodemonkey.io/ for the form component.
Deborah Hearne
Georgios Grigoriadis: Were you paying attention to me this entire conversation? Are you just trying to discount my request? I already explained why that action does not work for my use case in my first post.
Deborah Hearne
Georgios Grigoriadis: It also seems like you are just trying to promote your custom component creation services.
The functionality should be built into Adalo by default.
Georgios Grigoriadis
Deborah Hearne: you can create an user as an admin in Adalo without log in. I will upload a video in an sec.

Deborah Hearne: I'm going to be nice when i respond to this. He IS being nice, you are NOT! He has explained it for you well. He can NOT understand it for you too. The link was just an easier way for you to do it. Even if it is his app, it's something that could solve your problems. That's where you say thank you instead of expecting him to do the work for you or expect adalo to do everything and create a custom feature that only has 4 votes! BE NICE, TRY IT, AND SAY THANK YOU!
Deborah Hearne
Georgios Grigoriadis: Thank you for the video. I now see that is is possible. For some reason it was not working when I tried it.
Since the feature is built-in, the request is no longer needed.
