What is Authorizer

Authorizer is a tool that adds login and user management to your website or app. You connect it to your existing database, and it creates a complete system for users to sign up, log in, and manage their accounts. Unlike paid services, you own all the code and data.

It supports over 11 different databases including popular options like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and SQLite. You can let users log in with email and password, social media accounts like Google and Facebook, or magic links sent to their email. The tool also includes features like password reset, email verification, and role-based access control.

Because it's self-hosted, you deploy it on your own servers using Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms. This gives you complete control and no per-user pricing.

How to Use Authorizer

Using Authorizer is simple once you set it up. Here are the steps:

  • Download the Authorizer binary for your system or use the Docker image to deploy it on your server or cloud platform.

  • Connect it to your database by setting environment variables. Authorizer supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, SQLite, and many other databases.

  • Open the Authorizer dashboard in your browser and sign up as an admin with a secure password.

  • Configure your settings from the dashboard, including enabling social logins by adding keys from Google, Facebook, GitHub, or other providers.

  • Add the Authorizer JavaScript library to your website or use one of the ready-made SDKs for React, Vue, Angular, or mobile apps.

  • Customize the login page design to match your brand, or use the built-in pages that work right away.

The dashboard lets you manage users, view sessions, set up webhooks, and control all authentication settings from one place.
