Why are users automatically created in WriteBackExtreme when logging in via SSO or OAuth?
Answer: By default, WriteBackExtreme is configured to automatically create a new user account when a user logs in via Single Sign-On (SSO) or OAuth and does not already exist in the system. This is intended to streamline onboarding in environments where user management is handled externally (e.g., through an Identity Provider).
However, if you want to prevent automatic user creation, you can disable this feature in the Advanced Settings section:
Go to the WriteBackExtreme Admin Panel.
Navigate to Advanced Settings.
Locate the option: "Disable creating a user on successful Single Sign-on or OAuth login".
Enable the toggle to prevent automatic user creation.
Click Apply Settings to save the change.
📌 Note: Disabling this option helps ensure tighter control over who can access WriteBackExtreme, which may be required in more security-sensitive environments.
