Auth users and profiles in getstream.io

Question

I would like to know if I can directly manage user profiles and user authentication with getstream.io?

I looked at the samples and I don’t understand how users are created.

Answer 1

Currently, it is not possible to manage user accounts, profiles, and auth in a stream.

A thread is best used in conjunction with an application (for example, server-side Sails / Node.js, Python / Django, Ruby / Rails, etc.) that handles these things and other functions, application logic, and services.

Then your application will have full control and flexibility over which users can read / write and receive notification of updates for any specific feed.
