Which UI do you use?

Custom UI

Pre built UI

Initialisation

You can use this as a standalone recipe, or alongside any of the other recipes provided by us. To get started, initialise the recipe in the backend SDK's init function call:

NodeJS

Important

For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.

GoLang

import SuperTokens from "supertokens-node";
import UserRoles from "supertokens-node/recipe/userroles";

SuperTokens.init({
    supertokens: {
        connectionURI: "..."
    },
    appInfo: {
        apiDomain: "...",
        appName: "...",
        websiteDomain: "..."
    },
    recipeList: [
        UserRoles.init(),
    ]
});

Python

import (
    "github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/recipe/userroles"
    "github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/supertokens"
)

func main() {
    supertokens.Init(supertokens.TypeInput{
        RecipeList: []supertokens.Recipe{
            userroles.Init(nil),
        },
    })
}

Other Frameworks

from supertokens_python import InputAppInfo, init
from supertokens_python.recipe import userroles

init(
    app_info=InputAppInfo(
        api_domain="...", app_name="...", website_domain="..."
    ),
    framework='...',  
    recipe_list=[
        # Initialize other recipes as seen in the quick setup guide
        userroles.init()
    ]
)

By default, the user roles recipe will add the roles and permission information into a user's session (if they have assigned roles & permissions). If you do not want roles or permissions information in the session, or want to manually add it yourself, you can provide the following input configs to the UserRoles.init function:

        AppInfo: supertokens.AppInfo{ /*...*/ },
        RecipeList: []supertokens.Recipe{
            userroles.Init(&userrolesmodels.TypeInput{
                SkipAddingRolesToAccessToken:       true,

        },
    })
}
