Building Role-Based Access Control in Xano

Xano Free Intermediate

Xano is a popular no-code backend behind Webflow and FlutterFlow front ends, and this build-along shows how to gate endpoints by role using middleware that runs before your logic. It is the concrete answer to the admin-versus-user problem when your data lives in Xano. You end with a working pattern for who can do what.

  • Check roles in middleware before any endpoint logic runs
  • Common roles are admin, owner, and guest with different rights
  • Access rules belong on the backend, not the front end
