Firebase user management in an app by admin

I'm trying to develop an Android app and I am using Firebase. I've set up the authentication system and works fine.

However I need an Admin interface that can manage Users:

  • to be able to delete user authentication credentials (but not user data)

  • to be able to screen potential users that register. After registration, the verification mail to be triggered by the Admin.

Currently all user related methods like user.isEmailVerified() and user.delete() can be triggered by the user that is authenticated.

I need to retrieve user ID and be able to send verification mail or delete user.

Is this the only way to modify user data?

Thanks

Solution

  • I have some admin type functionality similar to yours in an app that I have and what I had to do for a lot of the admin type things like deleting user accounts/etc is using Firebase functions and utilizing the firebase admin SDK to do those type of activities.
