Hi @endymion1818 my apologies. I am still working on my article, but I would need some guidance on creating the plugin. Thanks!

@ChisomUma let's chat on Slack about this 👍 See you there!

After chatting on Slack, @ChisomUma and I decided that a different article would be more suitable. This is a slightly more advanced topic that requires knowledge of auth flows and of Webiny in particular.

@endymion1818 do you think it's something I can spin?

What's the progress on this one? I'm looking for an article to write about.

This is an advanced tutorial, so we would expect you to have a proven, comprehensive understanding of authentication flows and some experience building plugins with Webiny before we can assign it to you. We're planning some other article subjects so keep an eye out for those!

Hi @Nziokitech im afraid I can only assign this to someone who has experience of Webiny and preferably has already written an article for us. This is because it's a complicated technical subject which doesn't have any documentation yet.
