Block Users with Aikido Firewall

Aikido firewall provides a way to identify and block users who are unwanted or trigger attacks, enhancing your app's security by preventing malicious activity.

Use Cases

  • Monitoring active users: Track user activity to identify and respond to potential threats.

  • Blocking unwanted or malicious users: Prevent users who are unwanted or have triggered security events from accessing your app.

How to identify and block users

Step 1: Identify current users (via setUser() - see GH docs). Once set, Aikido will display all active users in the dashboard.

Step 2: Identify which user to block and open the Action menu by clicking the triple dots.

Note that user blocking is not immediate; it takes up to a minute for the block to take effect.
