Hi everyone, Does anyone know how I could log in to the dashboard? For example, when I enter the dashboard, the username and password or add user option appears and the tabs or submenus are disabled until I enter the correct username and password. Something like in this video...

I already did it a long time ago, I found another video but the information is given to me if I sign up for a course.

If you search the forum for dashboard login you will find lots of info.
But depending on your needs you could just take a look at this section of the docs, it may be all you need.

Hi @Mafi , I've used this example for phyunsj, I did some changes for my application, but It could be a well base to start and helps you!
