Is there a meteor.js library available for managing user accounts?

Question

I'd like to have users register, have access to unique user IDs to limit the number of times a single user can do something, and also have different tiers of users to control access. It would be great if I didn't have to build this out myself.

Have a look at the accounts api, and the passwords package, which should save you writing most of the boilerplate code for implementing user accounts.

There is also the accounts-ui package with support for facebook, google, and others.

You'll need to implement your own ACL and make sure collections have appropriate permissions.

Finally have a look at the All Tomorrow's Parties demo for some sample implementation.

Do you know where I can find documentation specifically related to accounts-google? When I try to use it with accounts-ui I'm getting an error about a Google key, but I'm not sure what to do about it. So far my searches for anything about accounts-google has turned up nothing. – Matt Nov 16 '12 at 05:41
@Matt, sorry for the late reply. I think you'll need to setup your oAuth tokens from Google and then configure the Meteor app. The Meteor docs state that you can follow "step-by-step guides" from the accounts-ui package, perhaps when you install the package there is a prompt? Check out the "login with external service" docs for more info. – Makita Nov 19 '12 at 02:11

Shameless plug: Here's an account manager based on the Meteor Roles package -
