Quick Answer
- Auth Plugin's Dashboard is accessed from inside the Auth Plugin plugin in your Framer project, you also sign in to your Auth Plugin account as part of setting up and using the plugin, separate from any accounts your site's own members create.
- It's a separate thing from the
/dashboard"member dashboard" page on your Framer site, which is a normal page you build and gate, not part of Auth Plugin's own Dashboard at all. - The overview gives you a quick view of identity and signup information, along with access to the settings used to configure your site's authentication.
- OAuth and branding-related settings are configured in the plugin's Settings section, accessible from the same Auth Plugin panel as the Dashboard.
- Identity limits scale by plan: 100 free, 1,000 on Pro, 10,000+ on Scale.
If you searched for the Auth Plugin dashboard, you're probably trying to figure out where you actually manage your site's logins, not build one. This walkthrough covers what a site owner sees and does day to day: checking identities and signups, and setting up OAuth and branding, all from the plugin's own Dashboard inside Framer.
What Is Auth Plugin's Dashboard?
It's the plugin's management area where you can monitor identities and authentication activity, and access the settings used to configure your site's authentication. It opens from inside the Framer editor itself, insert the Auth Plugin plugin from your Framer project, and the Dashboard is the first screen you land on, labeled "Overview of your website." Setting up and using the plugin also involves signing in to your own Auth Plugin account, separate from any account a visitor to your site creates.
This isn't a page component you drag into your site. It's the plugin's own management area, the place you go to check on signups and reach the settings that configure how login works, not something a visitor to your site ever interacts with directly. Not every Auth Plugin feature is necessarily configured directly from this overview screen, some live deeper in the plugin's settings.
How Is It Different From an End-User Member Dashboard?
They're two completely different things that happen to share the word "dashboard," and Auth Plugin's own docs add a third: a "Dashboard (Protected)" page guide, which is a template pattern for building a members-only /dashboard page, not the plugin panel covered here.
A member dashboard is a normal Framer page you create yourself at /dashboard, the one a logged-in visitor lands on after signing in, then restricted to members with a Protected Pages rule. Auth Plugin doesn't build that page's layout for you, it protects the page and gives you components to place on it, like Identity Label, Avatar, and Sign Out Button, so the page can show and personalize itself around the signed-in member.
Auth Plugin's own Dashboard is the opposite direction: it's where you look at your site's login system from the outside, opened from inside the Framer editor, not something rendered inside your published pages.
How Do You Get to Auth Plugin's Dashboard?
From inside Framer. Insert the Auth Plugin plugin into your project, and the Dashboard is the landing screen, "Overview of your website." Setting up and using the plugin also involves signing in to (or creating) your Auth Plugin account, this is your own account as the site owner, separate from any accounts your site's visitors create when they sign up on your published site.
If your site isn't connected yet, the overview still shows, counts sitting at zero, with a Get Started prompt underneath pointing to a 4-step setup process. Once set up, this same place is where you'll come back to check identities and adjust OAuth and branding settings.
What Does the Dashboard Overview Show You?
As currently shown in the plugin panel, the overview gives you a quick view of identity and signup information, along with access to key authentication configuration areas: three counts, Total Identities, Recent Signups, and Protected Pages, and a set of Quick Actions, Insert Components (add auth components to your page), Protected Pages (manage login-required pages), and View Identities (see registered users). Since "identities" is the exact number your plan's limit is measured against, that count is also how you keep an eye on how close you are to the ceiling. Treat these specific labels as a snapshot of the current UI rather than a fixed spec, since plugin interfaces change over time.
Auth Plugin describes the identities view as letting you "view users, track signups, and monitor activity, all from the plugin panel." The general concept, seeing your users, their status, and when they joined, is supported by Auth Plugin's own marketing, which illustrates it as a per-user row with name, email, and a status badge (Active or Pending); a customer testimonial on the same site adds that join date shows too, though that detail is anecdotal rather than a documented spec. Treat the exact columns, and any search, filtering, or editing capability beyond viewing, as illustrative rather than confirmed, since none of it is spelled out in Auth Plugin's documentation.
Where Do You Configure OAuth Providers and Branding?
Both are configured through the plugin's settings, reached from the same place as the Dashboard. For OAuth, you enter the Client ID and Client Secret from your Google Cloud Console project after creating an OAuth 2.0 client there. Auth Plugin provides the callback/redirect URL you need to register with your OAuth provider, and setup fails with a mismatch if that URL isn't copied over exactly.
Branding, documented under Settings > Branding, controls how your transactional emails look: app name, logo URL, primary color, button text color, and support email, applied across your Welcome, Password Reset, Magic Link, and OTP emails. An Email Preview lets you check the result before it goes out to a real user. Exact menu labels can vary as the plugin evolves, so treat "Settings > Branding" as a description of where this lives today rather than a fixed navigation path.
Common Mistakes When Using the Dashboard
- Confusing the plugin's Dashboard panel with a member dashboard page. They solve different problems. One is your control panel, the other is a page your visitors see.
- Confusing it with the docs' "Dashboard (Protected)" page guide. That's a template for a members-only page you build, a different thing from the plugin panel covered here.
- Skipping branding and shipping default emails. A password reset email with no logo or app name looks generic and can read as suspicious to a wary user.
- Copying the OAuth callback URL by hand instead of directly. A single typo in the redirect URL is one common cause of an OAuth setup failing.
- Never opening the Dashboard after launch. The identity and signup counts are a fast way to confirm your auth setup is actually being used in production, not just working in preview.
Auth Plugin Dashboard FAQ
Is the Dashboard the same as my site's member dashboard?
No. Auth Plugin's Dashboard is a panel inside the plugin, for you, the site owner. A member dashboard is a normal Framer page you build and restrict for your logged-in visitors.
Where do I access Auth Plugin's Dashboard?
Through the Auth Plugin plugin inside your Framer project. The Dashboard is the site-owner management experience, separate from the member-facing /dashboard page on your published site. Setting up and using the plugin also involves signing in to or creating your own Auth Plugin account.
Where do I set up Google or GitHub OAuth?
Through the plugin's settings, where you enter your Client ID and Client Secret and register the callback/redirect URL Auth Plugin provides.
Can I customize the emails Auth Plugin sends?
Yes, through the plugin's branding settings: app name, logo, primary color, button text color, and support email, applied to Welcome, Password Reset, Magic Link, and OTP emails.
How many identities can I have?
100 on the free Basic plan, 1,000 on Pro ($19/month), and 10,000+ on Scale ($49/month), per Auth Plugin's pricing page.
Does Auth Plugin build my dashboard page for me?
No. Auth Plugin gates and personalizes a page you design in Framer using its own tools. It doesn't generate page layouts.
The Short Version
Auth Plugin's Dashboard is the plugin's own management area, opened from inside the Framer editor, not a page your visitors ever see. Using it involves signing in to your own Auth Plugin account, separate from any account your site's members create when they sign up. The overview gives a quick view of your identity and signup counts, with access to the settings that configure OAuth and branding, and it's a different thing entirely from any member /dashboard page you build and gate yourself on your actual Framer site.
