Manage Your App's Users in ChanTan Studio
See everyone who signed up inside your app, add someone by hand, send a password reset link, or remove an account — all from the Users screen in ChanTan Studio.
These are the people who sign up inside the app you built — your customers, your members, your team. They are not ChanTan Studio accounts, and they never see ChanTan.
The screen says it plainly: "Users" — "View and manage the people who sign in to your app."
You need a database first. If you don't have one yet, connect one — it takes about a minute.
1. Open "Manage ▾" → "Database"
At the top of your project, press "Manage ▾", then "Database".
2. Open "Users" from the engine room
From "Your app's engine room", tap the "Users" card — "people signed in to your app".
3. Find the person you want
Search by name or email. The list shows 10 per page.
Click a person to open their page. It shows "Joined", "Last signed in" and the sign-in methods they used.
✅ Done. You should now be looking at one person's page, with their join date, last sign-in and sign-in methods.
Adding someone by hand
- Press "Add user".
- Type their email address.
- Type a temporary password of at least 6 characters.
The hint tells you what to do next: "Share this with the user — they can change it after signing in."
Helping someone who forgot their password
On the person's page, press "Send password reset link". That produces a link — you copy it and send it to them yourself.
Removing someone
Press "Delete this user". You'll be asked to type the word delete first, because "This permanently removes their login and can't be undone."
⚠️ Deleting a login is permanent. Undo restores your files and code, never your app's data or accounts. If you're not sure, don't delete.
Which ways people can sign in
Which login methods your app offers (email, phone, Google) lives under the engine room's "Advanced" → "Sign-in settings".
The honest advice is to leave that screen alone. It's written in developer language and is easy to break. Ask in the chat instead — "add Google login to my app" — and the AI makes the change for you.
Logins the AI created for you
When the AI builds an admin, owner or test account for your app, the email and password are saved automatically under "Manage ▾" → "Chat history, logins & files", in the "LOGINS" list.
That's the answer to "the AI made me an admin login and I've lost it." It's there, not buried in the chat. Passwords are stored encrypted — only you can reveal or reset them.
Honest limits
| Limit | Detail |
|---|---|
| How many you can see | At most 2,000, ten per page. Above that you'll see "(showing first 2,000)". |
| Using your own Supabase | ChanTan cannot add, edit or delete your app's users — it tells you "Open the Auth tab in your Supabase dashboard." |
| History | The "Activity" screen shows plain-word changes ("Added", "Edited", "Deleted", "Signed in"), but only the latest 100 entries. |
| Free allowance | 50,000 active users a month are included with every project, plus the Free plan's 1,000. |
If something looks wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| An empty Users list | Nobody has signed up in your app yet. Nothing is broken. |
| The "Welcome to Database" screen | This project has no database yet — connect one, then sign-ups can be saved. |
| No "Add user" button working for you | Check whether the project uses your own Supabase — user management then happens in your Supabase dashboard. |
| A person who can't sign in at all | Describe it in the chat ("my customer can't log in") — the AI can read your app's own error log and fix the cause. |
