Is it possible to use my External Airtable collection for my app’s users? I’m having trouble figuring out how to remove the default user’s table and using my Airtable collection instead. How can this be done?

It’s not possible at this moment, as per Adalo’s team member. However it is on their roadmap: [3rd Party Authentication | Voters | Adalo](https://ideas.adalo.com/feature-requests/p/3rd-party-authentication)
