this is possible disable register but keep oauth login?

TL;DR
User is asking how to block registration of non-existing users on Appwrite. This feature is currently not functioning properly in self-hosted versions above 1.9.0-rc.1.

Hey 👋 Just to make sure I understand, your goal is to make OAuth work, but only for existing users - OAuth sign-up to be disabled?

Looking at code, it seems you can disable auth methods like email OTP or phone, but as long as you keep specific method enabled, both sign up and sign in are allowed.

For your scenario, I would recommend to set user limit. Let's say you have 700 users now, set the limit to 700. Thanks to that, new sign-ups should be automatically rejected, but all existing users can sign-in as normal.

You can find it here in Console, inside your project

btw Will there ever be an option to block the registration of users who do not currently exist, or where could I report such an idea so that it could be added to Appwrite?
