In another article discussing user management, we covered how to use the user registration API to register users for your app. When registering a user, your app sends a collection of user registration properties to the server. Values for these properties typically come from a registration form in your app. Some form fields may be…

There will often be times when you want to delete users from your database, whether it’s to purge old users or to allow users to delete their own account.

Alternatively, your app may require manual user registration (or you plan to import users from another system).

In another post, we covered user registration API, delivery of the welcome email upon the registration, login API, and the ability to enable/disable user accounts. The user management feature highlighted in this post focuses on changing a user’s password in Backendless Console.

There may be instances where you need to create a user manually in your database rather than through your application. Whenever you need to quickly create a user for your app, you can always use Backendless Console. The Console makes the user creation process simple.
