AI Studio Cloud

• An app that saves each person's profile, progress, or orders, so their information is there when they sign back in

• A members-only resource library, where signed-in users can view and download your files

• A private client gallery (e.g. for photographers), where each client signs in to view and download their own photos

• A tool where signed-in users can upload photos or documents, stored securely in your project

• An internal team tool, such as a tracker or dashboard, that saves your team's entries

Both give people a secure login, but they're built for different needs. People who sign up through Cloud are stored in your AI Studio project only, so their accounts and logins don't sync to your Ivorey™ CRM or Client Portal, and sign-in is currently available with email and password only.

We recommend AI Studio Cloud if you want:

• An easy login for people to access a custom app, tool, or resource you've built in AI Studio

• Signed-in users to save their own information inside your app (e.g. profiles, progress, or orders)

• A private place for signed-in users to view, upload, or download files (e.g. a resource library or client photo gallery)

• To manage your app's users separately from your CRM contacts
  

We recommend the Client Portal if you want:

• Your clients' logins connected to their contact records in your Ivorey™ CRM

• Clients to access your courses, communities, or other portal content, including through the Kollab™ app

• One login that works across all of your Client Portal content

Please refer to our Client Portal guides for all the details.

1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to AI Studio > open an existing project, or create a new project by describing what you want to build in the prompt box

2. Once your project is ready, click the 📦 More button at the top of the page > click [Cloud] > and on the Overview page, click [Enable Cloud]

3. Wait for Cloud to finish setting up - you can keep working on your project while it runs
   
   Note: If setup fails, your existing app stays exactly as it is. Click [Try again] to pick up where it left off.

4. Once connected, the Cloud Overview dashboard displays your:

   1. Connection Status - whether your Cloud is connected

   2. Database - your existing tables and how many records each one holds

   3. Users - how many people have registered, and your sign-in settings

   4. Storage - the storage buckets your app uses

   5. Secrets - your project's private keys and tokens (please refer to our AI Studio Server guide for how to add and use Secrets)

5. Click on any section to open its full management page

6. If the security advisor finds a problem, a card will appear on the Overview page > click [View issues] to see the list > and click [Try to fix] to have AI Studio repair them
   
   Note: Fix any issues marked as critical before you publish. Warnings are worth reviewing, but aren't urgent.

7. When you're ready for your live project to use Cloud, click [Publish] in the top right corner of the screen to publish your updated project
   
   Note: Enabling Cloud doesn't change your published project. Your live project stays as it is until you publish again.

1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to AI Studio > and open your project

2. Click the 📦 More button at the top of the page > click [Cloud] > and click [Database] to view your project's tables, roughly how many rows each one holds, and whether RLS policies are in place

3. Click on a table to open it > from here, you can:

   1. Click [Add row] > fill in the fields (leave any field marked "Leave blank to use the default" empty) > and click [Create row]

   2. Double-click a cell to edit its value

   3. Click [Filter] to filter the records shown, or [Columns] to choose which columns display

   4. Click [Export CSV] to download a copy of the table's records

   5. Click [Refresh] to load the latest records

4. To create a new table or change an existing one, describe what you need in the AI Studio chat panel (e.g. "Create a table to store orders, with the customer's name, email, and order status") - changes to your table structure are made through the chat, rather than directly in the database

5. Click [Optimize] to send a database health check to the AI Studio chat, which helps identify ways to improve performance
   
   Note: Optimising your database uses AI Studio usage, like any other chat message.

6. Click [RLS policies] to review the access rules on each table, including the policy name, command, user role, and rule expression > to change a rule, describe the access you want in the chat (e.g. "Only allow signed-in users to view and update their own orders")

7. Click [Backups] to view the daily snapshots Cloud creates automatically > select the snapshot you need > and click [Restore] to return your database to that earlier state
   
   Note: Restoring a backup replaces your current live database with the selected snapshot, and database access pauses for a few minutes while it restores. Backups don't include uploaded files or your project code. If the restored database no longer matches your app, ask AI Studio in the chat to update the code.

1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to AI Studio > open an existing project

2. Inside your project, click the 📦 More button at the top of the page > click [Cloud] > and click [Users] to:

   1. View signup activity on the Signups chart > and use the date range drop-down (e.g. Last 7 days) to choose a time period

   2. Search for a registered user by email, and see each user's login method and when they last signed in

   3. Click [Add user] > and select [Send invitation] to email someone a link to set their own password, or [Create new user] to create an account that is already confirmed, without sending an email
      
      Note: Sign-up confirmation, invitation, and password reset emails are sent through your Ivorey™ account email settings, and the links in these emails take people back to your app.

   4. Click on a user to open their details > on the Overview tab, view when they signed up, confirmed their email, and last signed in, along with their Login methods > under Actions, click [Delete user] to permanently remove their account, so they no longer have access to your app (this can't be undone)

3. Click [Auth settings], at the top right of the Users page, to control how people sign in and register:

   1. Under Sign-in methods, Email (password sign-in and one-time codes) shows as Enabled - this is currently the only sign-in method available

   2. Under Who can sign in, toggle OFF Allow new sign-ups to close registration at any time, while keeping your existing users signed in

   3. Toggle ON Anonymous users to allow anonymous users to sign in (this is OFF by default)

4. Under Sign-in methods, click Email to set your password and email security rules:

   1. Under Passwords, set your:

      1. Minimum password length - the minimum is 6 characters, and we recommend 8 or more

      2. Required password characters - use the drop-down to choose which types of characters passwords must include (e.g. lowercase, uppercase, and numbers)

      3. Check against known breaches - toggle ON to reject passwords that have appeared in public data breaches (this is ON by default)

      4. Re-authenticate to change password - toggle ON to ask for the current password before a new one can be set

   2. Under Email, set your:

      1. Auto-confirm email - skips the confirmation email, and should be used for testing only

      2. Secure email change - toggle ON to require confirmation at both the old and new email addresses (this is ON by default)

   3. Expand the Advanced dropdown to set the expiry time and length of one-time codes
      
      Note: Email confirmation is required by default. Keep Auto-confirm email turned OFF once your app is live.

5. Back on the main Auth settings page, expand Advanced to set where people are sent when they sign in, register, or reset their password:

   1. Site URL - where auth emails send people when a link doesn't include its own redirect (e.g. your app's custom domain)

   2. Redirect URLs - where people are allowed to be sent after signing in > type a URL into the field > and click [Add URL] to add it to your Allowed URLs list, including mobile app links such as myapp://callback
      
      Note: AI Studio manages your preview URLs for you. Make sure these URLs match your app's live URLs (e.g. once you connect a custom domain), as a mismatch is the most common reason a login fails.

6. Click [Save changes] in the bottom right

1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to AI Studio > open an existing project

2. Inside your project, click the 📦 More button at the top of the page > select [Cloud] > [Storage] > click [New bucket] > and enter a bucket name between 3 and 63 characters, using lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
   
   Note: Bucket names can't be changed after the bucket is created.

3. Choose your bucket's visibility > toggle Make bucket public ON or OFF > click [Create bucket]

   1. Public - anyone with the file link can open the files

   2. Private - files are restricted to signed-in users, based on your access rules

4. Open a bucket to upload files, create folders to organise them, download, rename or delete files, and copy a file's URL to use in your app
   
   Note: Renaming a file changes its URL, so make sure you update anywhere you've used the previous URL.

5. On the Storage page, use Upload size limit to set the largest file a bucket can accept (the default is 2 GB, up to a maximum of 5 GB) > and click [Save]

6. Click [RLS policies] to review the rules that control who can view and upload files

• Database size - the computing power that runs your project's backend, including its processor and memory (this is called an "instance" in our Billing and Inclusions guide). Moving to a larger size gives your app more processing power and memory, but doesn't add any storage space
  

• Database storage - the space for the information your app saves, such as your tables and records. You're charged for the amount of space you've reserved, whether or not it's full
  

• File storage - the space for the files in your storage buckets, such as images and PDFs. This grows and shrinks with your files, and you're charged only for what's actually stored
  

Your free storage allowances apply on every database size, so moving to a larger size doesn't replace them.

1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to AI Studio > open an existing project

2. Click the 📦 More button at the top of the page > click [Cloud] > [Overview] > and click [Advanced settings]

3. Click [Manage] next to Database size to view the available sizes and their hourly pricing > Cloud starts on the free Tiny size, and you can move up to Mini, Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large or back down, as needed
   
   Note: Database size can be changed once per hour. Each change takes a few minutes and briefly restarts your app.

4. Click [Manage] next to Database storage to increase the space allocated to your database
   
   Note: Database storage can be increased up to four times a day, but can't be decreased. Check your current usage here first, and only increase it when your data is getting close to the limit.

5. Under Pause Cloud, click [Pause] to stop access to your Cloud while keeping all of your data safe > to turn it back on, click the 📦 More button > click [Cloud] > and click [Wake up]
   
   Note: While Cloud is paused, any features in your app that depend on Cloud stop working. If your wallet can't cover your Cloud charges, Cloud pauses automatically after 48 hours, without deleting your data, and wakes up once your wallet has been topped up (this may take some time). You can also click [Wake up] yourself. Please refer to our Billing and Inclusions guide for how pausing affects your charges.

6. Under Remove Cloud, click [Remove] to permanently delete Cloud from this project
   
   Note: Removing Cloud permanently deletes this project's database, users, and stored files. Export your database tables using [Export CSV] in each table, and download any files you need, before removing it. Your other AI Studio projects are not affected.

When you clone a project, the copy is disconnected from the original project's Cloud and doesn't send any requests to it. If you enable Cloud on the copy, a new Cloud is created with the same table structure, but without any of the records, users, or files from the original project. Toggling ON Include project history when you clone keeps your chat and version history, but doesn't copy your Cloud data.

No. Submissions from AI Studio forms connected to your CRM are sent to your Ivorey™ account, so they don't take up any of your Cloud storage. You can view them inside your project by clicking the 📦 More button > [Analytics] > [Form Submissions].
You can also find them under Site Pages > [Forms] > [Submissions] > [External Forms].
