General Setup

Enable the fields you want to collect in the Dynamic Dashboard. This configuration applies regardless of whether you use our UI or build your own.
  • Go to the Login/User Profile settings in the dashboard
  • Scroll to “Additional User Information”
  • Choose which fields to collect and whether each is optional or required
You can use pre-made fields (Alias, First Name, Last Name, Job Title, T-Shirt Size, Username) or create your own custom fields. See Custom Information Capture for details.
We have a few fields pre-made for you including Alias, First Name, Last Name, Job Title, T-Shirt Size, and Username.As an example, the Username field is a string that is unique per project with these validations:
  1. Letters A-Z, a-z, numbers 0-9, or symbols $ ! # % ?
  2. Length 5 to 20
  3. Cannot contain consecutive symbols
The T-shirt size field is a dropdown with options (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL).You can specify additional custom fields and how you want to validate these fields by creating a new field in the dashboard’s Log in and User Profile section.

Pre-signup (server-driven)

Create a user first and attach information, then let them sign up later to bind a verified credential.
  • Create user
curl -X POST https://app.dynamicauth.com/api/v0/environments/{environmentId}/users \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer $DYNAMIC_API_KEY" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '{"email": "[email protected]", "username": "testuser"}'
  • Update user when more data is available
curl -X PUT https://app.dynamicauth.com/api/v0/environments/{environmentId}/users/USER_ID_HERE \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer $DYNAMIC_API_KEY" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '{"firstName": "My", "lastName": "Name"}'
When the user signs up with the same identifier (e.g., email), the record will gain a verified credential and the captured info will appear in their profile.

Post-signup prompts

  • Required fields are enforced during onboarding.
  • To collect optional fields later, trigger an update flow using your UI (see Tabs above). In React, updateUserWithModal provides a built-in UI.

FAQ

  • What happens to existing users if I change required fields?
    • The next time a user authenticates, they’ll be asked to provide any newly-required fields so profiles stay up to date.
