Description
New Issue Checklist
- I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
- I am not just asking a question.
- I have searched through existing issues.
- I can reproduce the issue with the latest versions of Parse Server and Parse Dashboard.
Issue Description
Trying to delete the authData field in the _User collection fails with error:
This authentication method is unsupported.
Steps to reproduce
- Find user with a populated
authDatafield - Select cell
- Hit delete button
Actual Outcome
Error message appears, field value is not deleted.
Expected Outcome
Field value should be deleted.
Note
It also does not work to only select a specific auth provider in the authData field and delete on that provider entry, e.g. "facebook: { ... }" or "apple: { ... }". The result appears correctly in the cell with the authData field updated to {}, even showing a success pop-up. But after refreshing the data browser, the auth data is still there.
Environment
Dashboard
- Parse Dashboard version:
3.2.1

Research direction
Start in the Data Browser by reproducing deletion of the _User authData field and compare deleting the whole field with deleting a provider entry such as facebook or apple. Verify the fix against the reported error, the refreshed cell value, and the Parse Dashboard 3.2.1 behavior described in the issue.
