simple_module_users
Email+password user management for simple_module apps. Replaces Keycloak/Auth0 for the common case: local accounts, admin invites, password reset, optional public signup. Built on fastapi-users.
Install
pip install simple_module_users
Pre-wired into any app scaffolded with smpy new.
What it provides
- Email + password registration, login, logout, password reset.
- Admin invite flow — admin enters an email, recipient clicks a link, sets a password, is logged in.
- Public signup toggle (
SM_USERS_ALLOW_SIGNUP, defaultfalse). - Bootstrap admin via env vars (
SM_USERS_BOOTSTRAP_EMAIL+SM_USERS_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD) — idempotent, only creates if the users table is empty. smpy users create-adminCLI for ad-hoc admin creation.- Inertia pages for login/register/invite-accept/admin-invite.
- Console mailer (logs to stdout) or SMTP mailer (
SM_USERS_MAILER=smtp). - Demo mode — one-click, read-only shared admin and standard user accounts on the sign-in card, for public showcase instances.
Usage
CLI:
uv run smpy users create-admin --email admin@example.com --password 'change-me'
Bootstrap-on-boot (.env):
SM_USERS_BOOTSTRAP_EMAIL=admin@example.com
SM_USERS_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD=change-me
Program:
from auth.deps import CurrentUser # type: ignore[import-not-found]
@router.get("/profile")
async def profile(user: CurrentUser):
return {"email": user.email}

Demo mode
For hosting a public showcase instance. Set under /admin/settings/ → Users:
demo_mode = true
demo_admin_email = demo-admin@example.com
demo_user_email = demo-user@example.com
demo_read_only = true # default — keep it on
The sign-in card grows one button per configured account — Explore as an
administrator and Explore as a standard user — each posting to
POST /api/users/auth/demo/{role}. Neither account's password reaches the
browser. Two accounts because the admin surface is what the framework is for
and the end-user app is what you build with it; a visitor can switch between
them without signing out. Blank either email to offer only the other; that
closes its route too, not just its button.
Both accounts are seeded (and reconciled) at boot and on every settings
reload, and while demo_read_only is on, DemoReadOnlyMiddleware refuses
every unsafe HTTP method from either demo session — everyone else on the
instance is unaffected. A standing banner tells the visitor they are in a demo.
Full detail, including the demo_read_only = false warning, is in
docs/modules/users.md.
Social sign-in (Google, GitHub, Microsoft, OIDC)
OAuth providers are configured in the admin UI at /settings/modules → Users (no environment variables). Each provider activates once its client id and secret are set; the secret is masked in the UI. Changes apply live — no restart.
Microsoft (Entra ID). Register an app in the Entra admin center and set the
redirect URI to <base-url>/api/users/auth/microsoft/callback. Configure under
the Microsoft OAuth group:
oauth_microsoft_client_id,oauth_microsoft_client_secretoauth_microsoft_tenant—common(any work/school or personal account, the default),organizations(work/school only), or your tenant GUID to restrict sign-in to one tenant.
Each provider's callback URL is <base-url>/api/users/auth/<provider>/callback
(google, github, microsoft, oidc).
Note: for Microsoft guest/external accounts the identity email comes from the Graph
userPrincipalName, which may not be a plain email (e.g.user_ext.com#EXT#@tenant.onmicrosoft.com). For tenant members it is the user's email.
Migrating from SM_USERS_OAUTH_* env vars
Earlier versions read provider credentials from SM_USERS_OAUTH_* environment
variables. These are no longer read at runtime. Migrate existing values into the
settings store once with:
uv run smpy settings import-from-env
