Management

This page provides an overview of the administrative functions available in the Juno Console related to user management.

Banning Users​

The built-in authentication feature allows developers to ban or unban users within their dapps. When a user is banned, they lose access to key services such as Datastore and Storage, preventing them from creating, updating, or deleting any data. This feature helps developers prevent misuse, spam, or abusive behavior in their applications.

note

A ban is not a deletion. The user's authentication entry remains in the system, and they can be unbanned at any time.

How to Ban a User​

To ban a user, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the Authentication section in the console.
  • Find the user you want to ban in the users' table.
  • Click on the Active / Ban button at the start of the row.
  • Confirm the action.

Once banned, the user will not be able to sign in, create, update, or delete data in Datastore or Storage.

Setup​

The Authentication tab in the Console (or the CLI config) lets you customize how users sign in to your app and who's allowed to access it. Here are the available options:

Main Domain ("Derivation Origin")​

This setting helps you control how users are identified when signing in with Internet Identity. It makes sure users get the same identity across different domains or subdomains of your app.

For example, if you set it to "hello.com", a user signing in at https://hello.com will receive the same identifier (principal) as when signing in at https://www.hello.com. In other words, the user will be recognized as the same person.

This is useful because, by design, it creates a different identity for each domain to protect user privacy and prevent tracking.

Use this if your app runs on multiple subdomains and you want a consistent user experience.

Max Updates Per Minute​

This lets you limit how many new users can sign up per minute. It's helpful to prevent abuse or unexpected spikes (like bots flooding your app).

For example, setting this to 10 means only 10 new users can be created per minute.

Default is 100.
