Configuration Options

The following config options exist and can be exported for your site: backend_user_roles is a list of Drupal Roles that are considered "Backend" roles. Users who use the password reset feature who are not in one of these roles will have the URL in their reset email switched to the Front End url defined on the site defined in the tide_site module for the current Drupal installation.

backend_user_roles: 
  - "administrator"
  - "editor"
  - "approver"

auto_apply_user_roles is similar to backend_user_roles. Roles defined in this list will be automatically assigned to new users registered via the API.

auto_apply_user_roles:
  - "member"

default_site_id is the default site ID to use if no other site is defined against individual users. This works together with backend_user_roles to define the Front End url to use on the outgoing password reset email.

default_site_id: 1

block_be_user_registration is a boolean. If it's set to 1, the ability for users to register via the Drupal interface will be blocked. This is to allow the site Drupal settings to be set to Allow user registrations via the API, whilst blocking registration for the CMS.

block_be_user_registration: 1

protect_jsonapi_user_route is a boolean. Usees the jsonapi_user_route value to protect specific json api routes.

protect_jsonapi_user_route: 1

jsonapi_user_route is an array of strings. Add the routes that you need to protect, eg /api/v1/user/user route will be protected from external access.

jsonapi_user_route:
  - "/api/v1/user/user"
