If you use ASP.NET Core you can use the client library: https://docs.squidex.io/02-documentation/software-development-kits/.net-standard

Otherwise the authentication process is described here: https://docs.squidex.io/02-documentation/developer-guides/api-overview/authentication

Squidex does not handle end user authentication. You can of course implement a schema and store usernames and passwords for your users.

hi again

i think for that and figure out this solution

  • create user schema
  • create special Role for bunch of permission
  • create Client for any user and assign special role to this client
    when user login and the username and password validation is ok
    get token from client which belong to this user
    and add token to header of any request

could you please tell me this scenario is ok or any advice for create better architect ?

You cannot create thousands of clients, Squidex is not designed for that. I would just use the user table for authentication and use one client for all your users. There is a pending PR that allows users to only see their content, but in general Squidex does not work well when directly accessed by end users like in your use.

You could also implement a middleware ( API layer) for authentication and authorization of course.
