where to define the Stack Auth for custom domain self host?

I have self hosted the dograh and I want to enable the admin (impersonation feature ) in app. but there is no proper information available about how to implement it ?

Hey! Since you're self-hosting Dograh, the admin impersonation feature would be handled by your Stack Auth configuration.

When self-hosting Stack Auth, you'll want to check your env file for the impersonation settings. The main thing to look for is the STACK_ADMIN_IMPERSONATION flag or similar. In the self-host Docker setup, impersonation is usually controlled by the allow_impersonation option in the config.

Also, make sure you're setting up an admin user correctly through the Stack Auth dashboard at your instance (probably http://localhost:8101 or your custom domain). Once you have an admin, the impersonation should be available from the admin panel.

If you're still stuck, I'd recommend checking the self-host docs — they cover the environment variables you need for admin features. Here's the link: https://docs.stack-auth.com/docs/others/self-host

Let me know what you find!

Hey @gurpreetlucky - We have not invested time in making the OSS distribution compatible to Stack Auth. If we get interest from the community on this, we can prioritise it. Thanks!
