Supabase Auth provides these general configuration options to control user access to your application:

• Allow new users to sign up: Users will be able to sign up. If this config is disabled, only existing users can sign in.

• Confirm Email: Users will need to confirm their email address before signing in for the first time.

  • Having Confirm Email disabled assumes that the user's email does not need to be verified in order to login and implicitly confirms the user's email in the database.
  • This option can be found in the email provider under the provider-specific configuration.

• Allow anonymous sign-ins: Allow anonymous users to be created.

• Allow manual linking: Allow users to link their accounts manually.
