How to make Usernames unique
Hi I was wondering how to make usernames unique or atleast a way to not make it possible to change your username through the API but only the ones with a token so I can do the usernames myself.
TL;DR
The user is asking for help on how to make usernames unique and prevent them from being changed through the API. One solution is to create a separate collection for usernames and set permissions accordingly. The user can then create a function to generate and manage the usernames themselves.
What do you mean by username? Is it an attribute of a collection you've created?
No the Authentication side of appwrite
That's just the name field and not username. I don't think you can prevent the names from being changed in auth. You can, however, create a collection for usernames and set the appropriate permissions and create a function to create the usernames. So essentially, you'll not use the name attribute in auth at all.
