…bled When LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN=False (production mode), the POST /api/v1/user endpoint was completely unprotected, allowing anyone to create users without authentication. While these users were created as inactive, this still allowed malicious actors to flood the database with inactive users. This adds a permission check that requires superuser authentication for user creation when AUTO_LOGIN is disabled, using the existing get_optional_user dependency to avoid breaking the AUTO_LOGIN=True (development mode) flow where public registration is expected.

- Around line 31-36: Combine the nested condition into a single if to satisfy
ruff SIM102: replace the two-level check with one statement like "if not
settings_service.auth_settings.AUTO_LOGIN and (current_user is None or not
current_user.is_active or not current_user.is_superuser): raise
HTTPException(...)" so the raise remains the same and references
settings_service.auth_settings.AUTO_LOGIN, current_user, current_user.is_active,
current_user.is_superuser, and HTTPException.
- Line 43: The dependency parameter currently uses the old pattern "_: None =
Depends(check_user_creation_permission)" which triggers Ruff FAST002; update the
function signature to use typing.Annotated for FastAPI DI by replacing that
parameter with Annotated[None, Depends(check_user_creation_permission)] and
add/ensure "from typing import Annotated" is imported; locate the parameter
where check_user_creation_permission is referenced in
src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/users.py and apply the change.
- Around line 21-36: The test test_add_user_public_signup fails because
check_user_creation_permission blocks unauthenticated creation when
settings_service.auth_settings.AUTO_LOGIN is false; fix the test by either
setting AUTO_LOGIN=True for that test (override LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN in the test
fixture or settings mock) or call the endpoint with superuser credentials using
the existing logged_in_headers_super_user fixture as other tests do (refer to
check_user_creation_permission, AUTO_LOGIN, test_add_user_public_signup and

Fix test test_add_user_public_signup to set AUTO_LOGIN=True or add superuser authentication.
The test at src/backend/tests/unit/api/v1/test_users.py:5-22 calls POST without authentication and expects HTTP 201, but the endpoint's check_user_creation_permission dependency will reject it with HTTP 403 because:
- The
clientfixture inconftest.py:296setsLANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN=falseby default - The test does not override this setting or provide superuser credentials
Either set AUTO_LOGIN=True within the test or provide logged_in_headers_super_user (as done in other tests like test_add_user at line 38).

Fix nested if statements to resolve pipeline failure.
The ruff linter (SIM102) requires combining nested if statements into a single statement. This is causing the pipeline to fail.

Use Annotated for FastAPI dependency injection.
Ruff FAST002 requires using Annotated for FastAPI dependencies. This is the modern pattern and aligns with other dependencies in this file.

Verify that component index changes are intentionally included in this PR.
The changes to component_index.json (Google dependency version downgrades) appear unrelated to the stated PR objectives, which focus on fixing authentication for user creation when AUTO_LOGIN is disabled.
This could indicate:
- Accidental inclusion from a different branch or merge
- Intentional bundling of unrelated changes (generally discouraged)
- A dependency update required for the authentication fix (unclear why)
Please confirm whether these changes should be part of this PR or separated into a different PR focused on dependency updates.
