### Key Concepts

* **Authentication:** Multiple sign-up/sign-in methods, including social logins and passwordless options.
* **Authorization:** Granular control with roles, permissions, and custom policies.
* **User Profiles:** Rich, extensible user data with tagging and custom properties.
* **Integrations:** Seamless OAuth and enterprise identity provider support.
* **Triggers & Automation:** Instantly respond to user events with emails, push, SMS, or custom code actions.

***

### Quick Start

The Membership module is enabled by default in every new CodeMash project.\
Access it via the [CodeMash Dashboard](https://docs.codemash.io/dashboard/membership), SDKs, REST API, or CLI.

***

### Core Features

#### 1. User Management

* Create, update, and delete users
* Support for multiple user types:
  * Guest users
  * Email/password, username/password, phone, passkey (passwordless)
  * Service users (for apps, scripts, automations)
* Rich profile fields: name, last name, phone, company, address, and more
* Custom properties: Extend user profiles with your own schema
* Tagging: Organize and segment users with flexible tags

**See:** [Users & Profiles](https://app.sintra.ai/membership/users.md)

***

#### 2. Authentication Methods

* Social sign-in: Apple, Google, Meta (Facebook), Azure AD, X (Twitter)
* Custom sign-up/sign-in rules: Define who can register and how
* Default role assignment for new users

**See:** [Authentication & Sign-In](https://app.sintra.ai/membership/authentication.md)

***

#### 3. Roles & Permissions

* **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):** Assign roles to users for easy permission management
* **Permission-Based Control:** Fine-grained, AWS-style permissions (database CRUD, file access, membership actions, etc.)
* **Custom Policies:** Combine system permissions into reusable policies
* **Custom Roles:** Group policies and permissions to match your app’s needs

**See:** [Roles & Permissions](https://app.sintra.ai/membership/roles-permissions.md)\
**See:** [Policies](https://app.sintra.ai/membership/policies.md)

#### 4. Triggers & Automated Actions

**Automate engagement, notifications, and business workflows in real time.**

* **Event-Based Triggers:**\
  Instantly respond to key membership events:
  * User registration
  * Profile updates (with access to what changed)
  * User deletion
  * User invitations
* **Automated Communication:**
  * Send onboarding emails when a user registers
  * Notify users or admins via push or SMS on profile changes, invitations, or deletions
* **Custom Code Actions:**
  * Trigger your own serverless code functions on any event
  * Pass full user data to your function (e.g., sync new users to a CRM, update analytics, integrate with third-party systems)

**Example Use Cases:**

* Send a welcome email and onboarding guide when a user signs up
* Automatically notify admins if a user updates their company information
* Call a CodeMash code function to push new user data to your marketing CRM
