Register and Auto Login

Plan a registration flow in Wappler that creates the account, starts the session, and hands the user into the app cleanly.

Introduction

This tour explains registration as part of the same identity system used by login and page restriction. In Wappler, a good registration flow creates the account safely, validates the data, and then decides whether the user should begin with an immediate session or continue through a separate verification step.

Registration creates identity, not just a row

A working registration flow does more than insert a database record. It decides which fields define identity, how passwords are stored, what default role or permission the new account receives, and what should happen immediately after account creation.

Create the account

Insert the user data safely and consistently.

Assign initial state

Decide default roles, flags, or profile completeness rules.

Choose the handoff

Auto login, login screen, or verification step.

Validate before creating the user

Keep password handling aligned with the provider

Decide the first post-registration destination clearly

Auto login can make onboarding feel smooth, but it should follow a clear rule. Use it when account creation and immediate access are part of the same trusted flow. Skip it when the project needs email verification, approval, or another trust step first.

Auto login for low-friction onboarding

Delay login when extra trust checks are required

Keep the post-registration route explicit either way

Common registration patterns

Most Wappler registration flows reduce to a few repeatable decisions.

Pattern: create the account with a safe default role

New users should start with the least permission they need. If admin access or elevated capabilities exist, those should be granted intentionally later rather than being implied by registration.

important: Registration should create the account with the safest reasonable default, not with elevated access.

Start users with a basic role

Separate onboarding from privilege escalation

Keep provider permission mapping predictable

If the project permits immediate access, the handoff after registration should feel like a continuation of the same auth flow. That means the same provider, the same protected routes, and a deliberate landing page after the session starts.

Use the same provider for registration and login

Choose one clear landing route after auto login

Test restricted pages with the new account state

Registration sits next to login, logout, and role-based redirects in the overall account lifecycle.
