matrix / element user management

[terrygogo]

Hi,
A few question please.
Just installed matrix and element.

Where do I manage users in matrix/element? When I installed it I picked 'manage via app not cloudron.
Where is the dashboard / backend?

Also how do I stop 'open public registrations'?

Also is there matrix / element forum?

Many thanks

@terrygogo Element is a frontend and Synapse is the backend. Element will follow whatever authentication mechanism you setup in Synapse.

On Cloudron, when you install synapse, there are 2 ways to set it up:

• Allow users from Cloudron - With this, external registration is disabled. Just add users to Cloudron and then can login to Element.

• Let the app manage users - With this ,external registration is enabled by default. If you want to disable it later, you have to comment out enable_registration in the config - https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1046
