Hi Dears,

I am using the httpNodeAuth in settings.js to define several users for my dashboard application. I include one httpNodeAuth: {user:"user-1",pass:"hash-1"} for each user. However, only the last user declaration works. Any suggestion ?

Thanks,

Roberto

I think the existing config example is misleading, so my _guess_ is, if you had multiple users, you'd have to pass an array of user objects, like:

```auto
httpNodeAuth: [
    {user:"user1",pass:"hash-1"},
    {user:"user2",pass:"hash-2"}
]

```

Hi Kuema,

I already tried this way, but does not work. When I launch the node-red, it shows a sintaxe error in the settings.js.

Thanks

`httpNodeAuth` only supports providing a single username/password.

Okay... all in all, it was just an assumption that it goes along with the scheme used by the `adminAuth` property. 😅

Just FYI, DashBoard 2.0 v1 supports Multi User (only with FlowFuse User Authentication)  
PS: this version has not yet been released
