Ok, so the first piece of code is for when they are first registering, followed by the “fetch”, followed by the code underneath which substantiates them as a payee (and admins too I think I see). Does all of this code get pasted into the initial registry page? Or both registry page and login page? And is there a manual intervention I have to take to verify they paid?
The code I linked to in the other post is all handled in the serverless function. You can’t do this in the client-side code and if you try to do it, it’d be a huge security risk as anyone could do it for themselves.
Basically, this is how you’d go: signup (client-side) → pay (client-side) → update role using serverless function (server side).

So, only this code gets pasted into my login.html page (server side)
return fetch(${identity.url}/admin/users/${payload.netlifyId}, {
method: ‘put’,
body: JSON.stringify({
app_metadata: {
roles: [payload.role]
}
}),
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${identity.token}
}
}).then(response => {
return response.json()
}).then(updatedUser => {
return {
statusCode: 200,
body: JSON.stringify(updatedUser)
}
})
?
Bare with me
I’m trying to simplify this as much as I can so I understand
Well, it’s not any page, it’s server side. It goes in your Netlify Functions like explained here:
You can call the function from any page on your website or even externally.

My OS rejected “npm install netlify-cli -g” as suggested in the functions section
It’s a socket issue I have to fix. I’ll catch up with you. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
I need to revive this topic because I have finally done the netlify registration widget
Hi, @MM6th. I’m not sure what you mean by “revive”. You made a post here today so the topic is “revived”.
Did you have a question?

Yes. Hopefully I closed out the old post, and my new question posted. My question is how do I code my redirect file to direct users only to particular page in my website after logging in?
You have already opened a new thread for this question @MM6th

Yes
/login /library 200! Role=admin
Above is what I have in my redirects file but after I login I’m staying on the login page instead of going to my library page
Have you seen the Role-based redirects documentation @MM6th?
As explained in HTTP Status Codes, 200 does not redirect, it means OK.
You might try something like
/library/* 200! Role=admin
/library/* /login 401!
which would load anything under the path /library for a user with the admin role, otherwise show the login page.

Yes I glanced at it and believed Ok meant just that, but I see 401 and what you have here … what does 401 mean? I’m going to try this right now
Before I follow through. I tried the code you provided in netlify playground and this came back:
/library/* 200! Role=admin : the target URL is missing, it should either start with / or be an absolute URL
It means Unauthorized.
Have you tried it on your account?
It’s exactly as per the first example in the Netlify documentation here:
The playground isn’t infallible, I’ve seen it indicate that various rules will/won’t work when they actually do/don’t against a real site.
As the documentation indicates that the role based redirects happen at the CDN edge, I’d suspect they aren’t processed by exactly the same code as the other redirects/playground.

I just looked at it on the link and you’re right… Also yes I just tried it on my account, and the upload said redirects file uploaded with a change but with no errors, however when I logged in the page remains on the login page.
Just to confirm, this is all I need right?
LoginLogin with Netlify Identity
.
The rules specified don’t redirect, they allow/prevent access to the routes.
Have you tried a rule that does redirect?
E.g.
/login /library 302! Role=admin
I’ve never used this functionality so it may not work, but it’s worth a shot.

To no avail, but thanks!
Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish with redirects @MM6th? Are you trying to prevent access, allow access, or redirect on login/logout/unauthorised access, to a specific asset/location?
