Build with AI Agent

Use the Back4app AI Agent to build a complete low-code internal tool backend from this template, including frontend, backend, auth, and view management.

Back4app AI Agent

Ready to build

Create a low-code internal tool backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. User (use Back4app built-in): username, email, password; objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. Admin View: user (Pointer to User, required), component (String, required), layout (Object, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only authenticated users can create and manage views. Use Cloud Code for validation.

Behavior:
- List users, manage admin views, and control access to data flows.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for user profiles and data management.
