Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/7240

Description

It would be nice to hide elements on the app that cannot work, due to how the backend is configured. Register and log in via socials (Google, Apple, Github, etc) should not be shown if the backend does not support them. Self-hosters need to provide API keys for all of these services. I'm not going to bother going to every one and set up an application with them, nor do I want to use them or offer them to others who use my instance. To simplify the onboarding, I would like to hide those options when they don't have configuration values.

Similarly, I am not going to offer LLMs on my instance. I don't have accounts or use them, so it would be a better user experience to not have the various "Ask AI" or other "AI" options around the app. When used, they throw errors which is going to confuse non-technical users who just want to be better organised.

Impact

Users and owners of self-hosted instances who don't need (or have) alternative sign-on options. And those who don't want to use LLMs.

Additional Context

Forgejo (open source git & devops software) has a similar thing - registration/sign up options are configurable. It makes for a less confusing onboarding experience and less error prone ongoing usage.

ps - wasn't sure if this belonged here or in the Cloud repository. Let me know if I should copy/paste it there instead! 🙏🏼

@philiprenich No worries, this is the correct place to raise the issue. There are some issues which request for the exact same features, so we might consolidate them in the future.

Hi there,

I am also trying to hide these options (i.e. hide not-configured AI options and not-configured/support sign-in options like Google, etc.). Is this possible somehow and if so how?

Thank you.

Hiding unconfigured identities is now available on AppFlowy Web.

https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy-Web/issues/105

It remains unavailable on the cross-platform native app.

@almereyda: it seems the latest Appflowy-Cloud version supports this request. However, going through all of these message, could you please explain how exactly I can hide the following entries:

Thank you.

It depends on what we are looking at here. If this is showing the native Desktop or Mobile Flutter app, you are probably best to follow and subscribe to

https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/5534

It appears setting the GOTRUE_EXTERNAL_EMAIL_ENABLED to false on your gotrue / supabase auth container will disable email accounts.

github.com/supabase/auth@01ebce1bf0/README.md (L196)

It remains to be evaluated wether it is supported anywhere across the AppFlowy apps to hide it, when not reported as present by the public gotrue introspection API.

My screenshot is from the browser / web app. I set the setting GOTRUE_EXTERNAL_EMAIL_ENABLED to false, yet as you can see in the screenshot it still provides alternative sign-in options (e.g. I want to restrict it to email only based on admin setup, no Google, 'More Options' link, etc.).

It might be, that hiding this specific login method is not supported, yet.

Now I am co fused. Isn't this threat about exactly this topic: being able to hide these kind of login methods (and LLM models) on a granular basis?
If this is not yet supported on a granular level, shouldn't we leave this threat open?

I think it was just overlooked. I've added a note to https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/5534#issuecomment-3381367883, which remains open as of now.
