Authentication

The initial version of Spade supports username and password authentication. We plan to add more authentication methods in the future.

User management

Creating as superuser​

Depending on the value of the DJANGO_ACCOUNT_FIRST_USER_ADMIN environment variable (defaults to True), the first user created will be a superuser or a regular user. The superuser can create other users and assign them roles.

You can also create a superuser by running the following command:

./manage.py createsuperuser

Inside the docker the container it is:

/entrpoint /app/manage.py createsuperuser

Or if you use docker compose

docker-compose exec spade /app/manage.py createsuperuser

Creating users​

At present there are two ways to create users:

  • Using the Django admin interface, available at /admin
  • Allowing users to register themselves, by setting the DJANGO_ACCOUNT_ALLOW_REGISTRATION environment variable to True (defaults to True)

JWT token​

You can call api/v1/token to get a JWT token, which can next be used to interact directly with spade APIs. Full Swagger API documentation is available at / of Spade backend for authenticated users.
