Implementing a "register user" fails

[daytonjones]

I've added a widget to allow user to register (per the doc): try: if authenticator.register_user('Register user', preauthorization=False): st.success('User registered successfully') except Exception as e: st.error(e)

But when loading the app, I get: "Pre-authorization argument must not be None"

streamlit == 1.9.2 streamlit-authenticator == 0.2.1 OS == Ubuntu 16.04 Python == 3.6.13

Please ensure you are supplying the preauthorization argument when you are initially constructing your authenticator object as follows:

authenticator = stauth.Authenticate(
    config['credentials'],
    config['cookie']['name'], 
    config['cookie']['key'], 
    config['cookie']['expiry_days'],
    config['preauthorized']
)

I added the "config['preauthorized']" argument as above, but now when loading the app I get:

KeyError: 'preauthorized'
Traceback:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/streamlit/scriptrunner/script_runner.py", line 475, in _run_script
    exec(code, module.__dict__)
File "/home/ubuntu/DROPS/drops.py", line 37, in <module>
    config['preauthorized']

Here is the full section from my app:

import streamlit_authenticator as stauth

with open ('/home/ubuntu/DROPS/.streamlit/auth_config.yaml') as file:
    config = yaml.load(file, Loader=SafeLoader)

authenticator = stauth.Authenticate(
        config['credentials'],
        config['cookie']['name'],
        config['cookie']['key'],
        config['cookie']['expiry_days'],
        config['preauthorized']
)

try:
    if authenticator.register_user('Register User', preauthorization=False):
        st.success('User registered successfully')
except Exception as e:
    st.error(e)

Please make sure that you have an empty preauthorized element in your config file as shown below:

preauthorized:
  emails: []

[daytonjones]

Ah... ok..thanks. Quick (final) question... can the "emails: []" contain a wildcard? I.E. ; "*.my.domain"

[mkhorasani]

Not in its current implementation, but you can just leave it completely empty.
