Globally disable email auth

Hey team I have all of my users logging in through sso - they each have their own because they have their own idps - how can I disable email verification? see below for an explaination of my use case ```Federation Broker is a technology that enables users to access resources using credentials at their own identity provider. Furthermore, it enables users to provide access to other users without creating individual federation connections to each and every user. Here’s the typical setup. Users make or verify the setup of their own identity provider - it can be Okta, Microsoft Entra/Azure AD, Authentik, or anything else. They then connect their own IdP to their personal Cloudflare Zero Trust account. Next, a SaaS application is added to their Cloudflare Zero Trust application which is added as a IdP source within the Federation Broker Cloudflare Zero Trust account. Finally, the Federation Broker Cloudflare Zero Trust account is set as an IdP for resources and other destinations....

Question about validating a user's roles within an organization

Hey everyone, appologies if there is already a similar thread about this. I looked quite hard but I wasn't able to find anything. My company is currently investigating Zitadel as a potential shared solution for product auth. From our perspective, is has a lot of clear benefits over the usual suspects like Keycloak. One thing that's got me a bit concerned is how our product teams will be able to validate the roles assigned to a user by a specific organization. As per the docs, with the urn:zitadel:iam:org:project:id:zitadel:aud scope, the userinfo endpoint will return roles in a structure like:...

When setting up Zitadel, why is the default adminuser called `zitadel-admin@zitadel.localhost`?

When setting up Zitadel, why is the default adminuser called zitadel-admin@zitadel.localhost instead of zitadel-admin@localhost? I'm setting it up in my Kubernetes cluster, running Zitadel on domain zitadel.local.k8s and then the username becomes zitadel-admin@zitadel.zitadel.local.k8s. How to get it to simply be: zitadel-admin@zitadel.local.k8s?...

EmailTemplate - Default Only or direct DB available?

In the sourcecode you provide the raw HTML file that is used for email generation when the SMTP email is sent: zitadel/internal/notification/static/templates /template.html From my reading of the documentation, in defaults.yml you provide EmailTemplate: which is a subsection of DefaultInstance:. Based on my investigation this is actually a base64 conversion of the html file above. -- As my instance is already setup and using EmailTemplate won't work for us have found that this file exists in hex format over in zitadel.projections.mail_templates2. There is only one instance with a hex entry in template(bytea)....

Email Branding - Bug

Is there a way to get system emails to follow the login branding? Maybe even include our logo as part of the email header? I know with "Message Texts" you can change text within the emails, but they come with white backgrounds and the buttons are default purple. Are these updated for whatever "Light Theme" is set for? I set our system for Dark Mode Only and the emails still use the light default theme....

I'm using both Zoho OIDC for external login and direct user creation via the ZITADEL console (invite flow).
