Go to Studio → Collections → select a collection → Options.

Collection Icon: Icon representing this collection throughout the app.

- Access Blocker Field: Field used to block or disable a user's access when needed.

Configure Default User (Auth collections only): When turned on, creates an initial user record the first time the seeder runs. Set the email (or whichever field is your username field), password, and role for this first user.

note

The default user is only added when you run the seeder. This feature appears as Faker in the Studio.
