SAAS Mode

In SAAS Mode, User can create multiple Workspaces. With some other settings, Admin can control the behavior of Users on SAAS mode.

Setting Up SAAS mode

1. Set LOWCODER_WORKSPACE_MODE to "SAAS" in docker-compose-multi.yml file.

   

   You can see in the following screenshot that in "SAAS" mode, each User can create multiple Workspaces.

   
2. In the above screenshot, you can see three configuration variables regarding Email and Workspace creation on Sign up.

   1. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED This variable is the configuration for showing "Sign Up" button on Lowcoder. When it is set to "TRUE", "Sign Up" button will show up and new User can sign up in SAAS mode. A new Workspace will be created for this User, and he/she will be the Admin of this Workspace : LOWCODE_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = true

      

      LOWCODE_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = false

      
   2. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP This variable is the configuration for creating a Workspace when new User signs up. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP = true

      

      LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP = false

      

Scenarios

1. LOWCODER_WORKSPACE_MODE = SAAS

2. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = true

3. LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP = true

Scenario	Subscenario	Expected Result
Can Workspace Admins login normal
	If they are Admin of a single workspace	Admin should get redirected to Password screen and relevant OAuth methods should get displayed if these are configured.
	if they are Admin of multiple workspaces	Admin should be displayed with the option to choose from Workspaces he/she is Admin of. After selecting a Workspace, Lowcoder should redirect to Password screen and relevant OAuth methods should get displayed if these are configured.
	If they are Admin on Workspace A, but Member on Workspace B	Admin should be displayed with the option to choose from Workspaces he/she is Admin of. After selecting a Workspace, Lowcoder should redirect to Password screen and relevant OAuth methods should get displayed if these are configured.
Can Workspace Members login normal
	If they are Member at a single Workspace	Member should get redirected to Password screen and relevant OAuth methods should get displayed if these are configured.
	If they are Member at multiple Workspaces	Member should be displayed with the option to choose from Workspaces he/she is Member of. After selecting a Workspace, Lowcoder should redirect to Password screen and relevant OAuth methods should get displayed if these are configured.
	If they are Member at Workspace A, but Admin on Workspace B	Member should be displayed with the option to choose from Workspaces he/she is Member or Admin of. After selecting a Workspace, Lowcoder should redirect to Password screen and relevant OAuth methods should get displayed if these are configured.
New User Sign up
	Can New User sign up as an Admin	Yes. Any New User will the Admin of their Workspace as they Sign up
	Can New User sign up as a Member	By default, No. but, if they join another Workspace through the Invite link, then they will Sign up as a Member.
	Can Admin create a New Workspace	Yes. Admin can create multiple Workspaces
	Can Admin update the Role of a Member to Developer	Yes. It is possible.
Create Workspace on Sign up
	Is a New Workspace get created when new Member signs up ?	New Workspace should get created when a new Member signs up.
	Is a New Workspace get created when a new Member signs up using another Workspace Invite link ?	New Member should get added as Member on the Workspace he/she joined in, and No New Workspace should get created.

Scenario	LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED	LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP	Disable Email Auth
Can Admin/Member Sign up / Login	True	True	Enabled
Can Admin/Member Sign up / Login	True	True	Disabled
....	True	False	Enabled
....	True	False	Disabled
....	False	True	Enabled
....	False	True	Disabled
Can Admin/Member Sign up / Login	False	False	Enabled
Can Admin/Member Sign up / Login	False	False	Disabled

Let's explain the above scenarios with different settings of the Environment Variables. LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED

This Env variable controls the Sign up feature whether New Users can Sign Pp or not. If set to False, Sign up button is not shown up and if a new User tries to enter an email and go forward, User is not shown the Sign up page.

LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP

This Env variable controls the creation of a Workspace when a new User signs up. If set to False, a new User will get added to the Default Workspace.

Disable Email Auth

This feature controls the Sign up/Login using standard Email field. When set to disabled, Email field won't show up on Sign Up and Login pages, and User won't be able to Sign up or Login using Email field. Scenario: When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = False

This means that New User can't Sign up on a Workspace. So, LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP Env variable won't matter.

Now, if Email Auth is "disabled", then User can only sign in using other Auth Providers, but still New User should NOT be able to Sign up.

Administrative Access

Here, if Admin disables the "Email Auth" ( means that Members can't Sign up/Login using Standard Email field ), Lowcoder allows Admin to still be able to login using /admin/auth/login. But, for other Users, Email field won't be available at /user/auth/login. They would only be able to see other Auth Providers options set by Admin. View on /user/auth/login

View on /admin/login

Scenario: When LOWCODER_EMAIL_SIGNUP_ENABLED = True If LOWCODER_CREATE_WORKSPACE_ON_SIGNUP is set to "True", then for every new Sign Up, a New Workspace will be created for the User.

Workspace Mode Env variable can also have the value "MULTIWORKSPACE" instead of "SAAS"
