How can I disable client-side account registration?

Hi everyone!

I’m currently building a game backend using Appwrite, and I’d like to prevent users from creating new accounts directly through the client.

My goal is to have the registration process handled exclusively by an Appwrite Function, where I can perform some server-side validation before creating the user through the Users API.

Is there a project setting, authentication configuration, or permission that allows me to completely disable client-side account creation while still allowing existing users to log in normally?

I’m specifically looking for the recommended Appwrite approach for this, rather than relying on the client simply hiding or disabling the registration UI.

Thanks!

Auth>Security>UsersLimit = 0, and to generate new users the function would be able to, with it api key

thanks by u support, but dont works to me 😢

Be your only user

Weird. @Harsh can you pls double-check console to see if we can reproduce and fix this? Seems "Update" button stays stuck, unable to save changes, when there are indeed some changes

Honestly, valid idea. If setting to limit=1 works, you could manually create 1 user yourself to fill the limit. Weird workaround, but good one

Please check now.
