docs: update post link

A TUS PATCH rejected before its body was read left the client still streaming
a chunk. net/http gives up draining an unread request body after 256KiB and
then closes the connection, so the status we replied with was lost and the
browser saw a bare transport error instead. The client could not tell a
conflict from a network fault, retried blindly, and the upload stalled after
the first chunk — while curl, which reads the response as it writes, still
reported the status and appeared to work. Drain what is left of a rejected
chunk so the answer arrives on a connection that stays usable. The explicit
r.Body.Close() had to go with it: it ran before the drain, and the server
closes the request body itself once the handler returns.

Pressing Upload awaited a recursive listing of the whole destination subtree
before a single byte was sent, with no sign that anything was happening. On a
large destination that reads as a dead button, and the walk kept running after
the client gave up, then reported the failed write as a 500. A flat upload can
only collide with a direct child of the destination, so walk recursively only
for folder uploads, stop the walk once the request is done, and show the action
as busy while the destination is checked.

Along the way: a failed upload was credited as fully sent, so the progress bar
reported 100% when nothing had been written; the progress timer was recreated
without clearing the previous one; and the chunk size field threw on a value
with no unit and raced its own debounce on submit, so it appeared to refuse
every change.

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+Guidance for Claude when working in this repository (File Browser, `filebrowser/filebrowser`).
+
+## Repo orientation
+
+- Go backend (`github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2`, ecosystem `go`) + Vue frontend under `frontend/`.
+- The project is in **maintenance-only mode** (see `SECURITY.md`). Prefer small, surgical, well-tested changes.
+- Version scheme: `v2.63.x`. Conventional-commit messages (`fix(scope): …`, `feat: …`, `chore: …`).
+- Verify with `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, `go test ./...`. Reuse existing test harnesses (e.g. `signToken`, `scopedUserStorage`, `handle`, `customFSUser`, `mockUserStore`).
+
+---
+
+# Handling security advisories
+
+Use this playbook when asked to triage, verify, fix, or manage GitHub security advisories.
+All advisory state lives on GitHub and is driven with the `gh` CLI. States are
+`triage → draft → published`, plus `closed`.
+
+## 1. Fetch
+
+```bash
+# List by state (also: published, draft, closed)
+gh api '/repos/filebrowser/filebrowser/security-advisories?state=triage&per_page=100' \
+  --jq '.[] | {ghsa_id, severity, summary, state}'
+
+# Full report for one advisory (read .summary and .description)
+gh api /repos/filebrowser/filebrowser/security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx \
+  --jq '.summary, "---", .description'
+```
+
+Always pull the **published** set too — you need it to dedup against.
+
+## 2. Verify each report — do NOT trust the report text
+
+Read the actual source **at HEAD** and reach one verdict per advisory:
+
+- **CONFIRMED** — defect exists at HEAD. Quote the exact `file:line`.
+- **FIXED** — already patched (find the fix commit).
+- **FALSE / NOT APPLICABLE** — claim is wrong, or targets a different project.
+- **NOT EXPLOITABLE** — pattern exists but no code path can reach the precondition.
+- **DUPLICATE** — of a published advisory, or of another triage advisory.
+
+Common traps — check each before accepting a report:
+
+- **"Incomplete fix of a prior advisory."** Read the original fix commit and confirm the *specific*
+  sibling code path is actually still unguarded — a prior fix may already cover a related path.
+- **Wrong project.** Confirm the referenced files, symbols, and endpoints exist in this repo; reports
+  sometimes describe a fork. If the cited code isn't here, close as not applicable.
+- **"Legacy / upgraded / imported records are affected."** Trace the field's git history and confirm that
+  some released version could actually produce such a record before believing it
+  (`git log -S'Field' -- path`, `git show <commit>`, `git tag --contains <commit>`).
+- **Overlapping reports.** Two triage advisories may share one root cause — consolidate and fix once.
+- **Known, intentionally-unaddressed classes.** Some areas are known and tracked but not fixed (see
+  `SECURITY.md`'s Known Issues); matching reports are duplicates.
+
+Record, per advisory: verdict, the `file:line` evidence, exploitability preconditions
+(default config? platform-specific? auth required?), and the disposition.
+
+## 3. Fix (one commit per advisory)
+
+- Branch off `master` first; never commit fixes directly to `master`.
+- **One commit per fix**, each referencing the GHSA in the body (`Refs GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx`).
+- When several advisories share a root cause because parallel code paths diverged, **centralize** the logic
+  (e.g. `settings.CreateUserHome` used by signup, proxy, and hook provisioning) so they cannot drift again.
+- Keep it surgical; match surrounding style.
+
+## 4. Add a regression test per fix
+
+- Reuse the existing harnesses; add a focused test asserting the fixed behavior (and that the legitimate
+  path still works). Commit tests alongside the fixes (`test(scope): …`, `Refs GHSA-…`).
+- Run `go test ./... && go vet ./...` before finishing.
+
+## 5. Severity — set a CVSS vector, don't hand-assert
+
+Set a CVSS v3.1 vector; GitHub derives the score **and** severity from it (overriding the plain `severity`
+field). Encode the real preconditions in the vector so the band is defensible:
+
+- Requires a specific target configuration/platform (e.g. case-insensitive FS) → **AC:H**.
+- Unauthenticated vs needs an account → **PR:N / PR:L**.
+- Keep it consistent with the **predecessor CVE's** rating (an incomplete-fix follow-up should not outrank
+  its parent). Bands: `0.1–3.9` low, `4.0–6.9` medium, `7.0–8.9` high, `9.0–10.0` critical.
+
+```bash
+gh api -X PATCH /repos/filebrowser/filebrowser/security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx \
+  -f cvss_vector_string='CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H' \
+  --jq '{ghsa_id, severity, score: .cvss.score, vector: .cvss.vector_string}'
+```
+
+## 6. Clean up the title
+
+Rewrite reporter titles to the concise, sentence-case, backtick-free style of the published advisories
+(state the vuln; drop "Incomplete fix of…" prefixes and jargon). The title is the `summary` field:
+
+```bash
+gh api -X PATCH .../security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx \
+  -f summary='Proxy-auth auto-provisioning ignores createUserDir and grants the server root scope'
+```
+
+## 7. Rewrite the body into the standard structure
+
+Reporter reports arrive in whatever shape the reporter used. Before drafting, rewrite the
+`description` into the sections below — **reusing the reporter's own wording wherever it is
+accurate**, rather than paraphrasing it. Drop the greeting, the offer to help, and any claim the
+verification in step 2 disproved. Keep sections in this order and omit the ones that don't apply:
+
+| Section | Contents |
+| --- | --- |
+| `## Summary` | What the defect is, in two or three sentences. Note the version it was reported against and the range it was verified over. |
+| `## Details` | Root cause, naming `file.go`, the function, and a short quote of the **pre-fix** code. |
+| `## PoC` | The reporter's reproduction steps and observed result, trimmed to the essentials. |
+| `## Impact` | Who can exploit it (privilege level, preconditions) and what they get. |
+| `## Patches` | Fixed version plus a link to the fix commit, and one sentence on what the fix does. Mention it if the reporter re-tested and confirmed. |
+| `## Workarounds` | Real mitigations, or `None. Upgrade to vX.Y.Z.` |
+| `## Out of scope` | Anything in the original report deliberately **not** treated as a vulnerability, with the reasoning. Needed whenever the advisory is narrower than the report. |
+| `## References` | Fix and regression-test commit links. |
+
+Use `##` headings (matching the published advisories) and keep the body in the maintainer's voice —
+first person ("I reproduced…") belongs only inside quoted PoC steps.
+
+Send it as a file so the Markdown survives shell quoting:
+
+```bash
+jq -Rs '{description: .}' desc.md \
+  | gh api -X PATCH .../security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --input -
+```
+
+## 8. Set affected & patched versions
+
+The package is always `{ecosystem: "go", name: "github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2"}`.
+
+- `vulnerable_version_range` — `<= <latest released version>` (the newest tag; find it with
+  `git tag --list 'v2.*' --sort=-version:refname | head -1`).
+- `patched_versions` — the **next** release that will actually ship the fix. It doesn't exist just
+  because the branch does; it still has to be cut. **When unsure which version that will be, ask.**
+
+Replace the placeholder versions below before sending:
+
+```bash
+printf '%s' '{"vulnerabilities":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"go","name":"github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/v2"},"vulnerable_version_range":"<= <latest>","patched_versions":"<next>","vulnerable_functions":[]}]}' \
+  | gh api -X PATCH .../security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --input -
+```
+
+## 9. Move state / close, by disposition
+
+```bash
+gh api -X PATCH .../security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx -f state=draft    # fixed, awaiting release
+gh api -X PATCH .../security-advisories/GHSA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx -f state=closed   # duplicate / N-A / not-exploitable
+```
+
+- **CONFIRMED & fixed** → metadata done → **draft**. Publish after the patched release ships.
+- **DUPLICATE / NOT APPLICABLE / NOT EXPLOITABLE** → **closed**.
+- **DEFERRED** (confirmed but not yet fixed) → leave in **triage** with a note.
+- The REST API **cannot post advisory comments** — replies to reporters (dup notice, evidence, links to
+  the relevant tracking issue) must be posted manually in the advisory UI. Draft the text for the maintainer.
+
+## 10. Release & publish
+
+Push the branch, open a PR, merge, tag/release the `patched_versions` you set, then publish the drafts.
+Confirm outward-facing/irreversible advisory actions (close, publish) with the maintainer before doing them.

+# Code of Conduct
+
+## Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+### Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+### Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
+
+### Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+### Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+### Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at hacdias@gmail.com. The project team will review and investigate all complaints, and will respond in a way that it deems appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project's leadership.
+
+### Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org), version 1.4, available at [https://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4](https://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4).

+# Building File Browser
+
+This project is archived on 2026-09-01. Pull requests are not accepted and no further changes are merged. This document is kept as build documentation for anyone wishing to build the project from source.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+The backend side of the application is written in [Go](https://golang.org/), while the frontend (located on a subdirectory of the same name) is written in [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/). Due to the tight coupling required by some features, basic knowledge of both Go and Vue.js is recommended.
+
+* Learn Go: [https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Learn](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Learn)
+* Learn Vue.js: [https://vuejs.org/guide/introduction.html](https://vuejs.org/guide/introduction.html)
+
+We encourage you to use git to manage your fork. To clone the main repository, just run:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser
+```
+
+We use [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) to manage the different processes (building, releasing, etc) automatically.
+
+## Build
+
+You can fully build the project in order to produce a binary by running:
+
+```bash
+task build
+```
+
+## Development
+
+For development, there are a few things to have in mind.
+
+### Frontend
+
+We use [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) on the frontend to manage the build process. Prepare the frontend environment:
+
+```bash
+# From the root of the repo, go to frontend/
+cd frontend
+
+# Install the dependencies
+pnpm install
+```
+
+If you just want to develop the backend, you can create a static build of the frontend:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build
+```
+
+If you want to develop the frontend, start a development server which watches for changes:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run dev
+```
+
+Please note that you need to access File Browser's interface through the development server of the frontend.
+
+### Backend
+
+First prepare the backend environment by downloading all required dependencies:
+
+```bash
+go mod download
+```
+
+You can now build or run File Browser as any other Go project:
+
+```bash
+# Build
+go build
+
+# Run
+go run .
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+Documentation lives in [`docs`](docs) as plain Markdown and is no longer built into a site. The command line reference in [`docs/cli`](docs/cli) is generated from the commands themselves:
+
+```bash
+task docs:cli:generate
+```
+
+## Release
+
+To make a release, just run:
+
+```bash
+task release
+```
+
+## Translations
+
+The Transifex integration stopped on 2026-09-01 and translations submitted there no longer reach this repository. Locale files live in [`frontend/src/i18n`](frontend/src/i18n) and can be edited directly.
+
+## Authentication Provider
+
+To build a new authentication provider, you need to implement the [Auther interface](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/blob/master/auth/auth.go), whose method will be called on the login page after the user has submitted their login data.
+
+```go
+// Auther is the authentication interface.
+type Auther interface {
+    // Auth is called to authenticate a request.
+    Auth(r *http.Request, s *users.Storage, root string) (*users.User, error)
+}
+```
+
+After implementing the interface you should:
+
+1. Add it to [`auth` directory](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/blob/master/auth).
+2. Add it to the [configuration parser](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/blob/master/cmd/config.go) for the CLI.
+3. Add it to the [`authBackend.Get`](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/blob/master/storage/bolt/auth.go).
+
+If you need to add more flags, please update the function `addConfigFlags`.

+File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview and edit your files. It is a **create-your-own-cloud**-kind of software where you can just install it on your server, direct it to a path and access your files through a nice web interface.

-filebrowser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview, rename and edit your files. It allows the creation of multiple users and each user can have its own directory. It can be used as a standalone app or as a middleware.
+## Security
 
-## Features
+Published advisories are listed under [security advisories](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security/advisories),
+and reporting instructions are in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md). Two known issue classes
+remain unaddressed and will not be fixed:
 
-Please refer to our docs at [filebrowser.xyz/features](https://github.com/filebrowser/docs/tree/master/features)
+- **Command execution, runner, and hooks.** This feature is plagued with vulnerabilities across many published advisories, and would need a full rewrite to be made safe. It is disabled by default; if you re-enable it with `--disable-exec=false`, treat the ability to run commands as equivalent to shell access on the host. Background: [#5199](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/issues/5199).
+- **Session and JWT handling.** Sessions are self-contained JWTs rather than server-side identifiers, so they cannot be revoked, which means that logout, password changes, and renewal leave previously issued tokens valid until they expire, and the same refresh token can be redeemed repeatedly. Assume a leaked token is valid until expiry. Background: [#5216](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/issues/5216).
 
-## Install
+If you keep running File Browser, treat it as unmaintained software:
 
-Please refer to our docs at [filebrowser.xyz](https://github.com/filebrowser/docs/tree/master/).
+- **Do not expose it directly to the internet.** Put it behind a reverse proxy that terminates TLS and performs its own authentication.
+- **Keep the command runner disabled.** It is off by default, so leave it off. See [#5199](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/issues/5199) and [`docs/command-execution.md`](docs/command-execution.md).
+- **Run it unprivileged, inside a container**, with only the directory you intend to serve mounted into it.
 
-## Usage
+## Documentation
 
-Please refer to our docs at [filebrowser.xyz/usage](https://github.com/filebrowser/docs/tree/master/usage).
+Documentation on how to install, configure, and build this project lives in [`docs`](docs) in this repository.
 
-## Contributing
+[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) documents how to build and develop the project, which remains useful to anyone forking it.
 
-Please refer to our docs at [filebrowser.xyz/contributing](https://github.com/filebrowser/docs/tree/master/contributing).

+# Security Policy
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+No version receives security fixes. The last planned release has already shipped and no further changes will be merged.
+
+| Version | Supported |
+| ------- | --------- |
+| 2.x     | ❌        |
+| < 2.0   | ❌        |
+
+## Before Reporting
+
+This project is being wound down. To avoid duplicates, first check the [existing advisories](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security/advisories) and open issues, and confirm:
+
+- **It concerns this project, not a fork.** Reports about code, features, or endpoints that don't exist here belong to the relevant fork.
+- **It isn't an already-known class** that remains unaddressed. Those are listed under [Security](README.md#security) in the README; reports covering them are likely to be closed as duplicates.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Until 2026-09-01, report privately via the [Security](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security) page. After that date this repository is read-only and reports can no longer be submitted.
+
+Please include, where possible:
+
+- The commit the issue was found at
+- A plaintext proof of concept (no binaries)
+- Steps to reproduce
+- Recommended remediation, if any
+
+No fix will ship for any report: the last planned release has already shipped and no further changes will be merged. Reports may still be published as advisories so that people running File Browser can assess their exposure.

+File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview and edit your files. It is a **create-your-own-cloud**-kind of software where you can just install it on your server, direct it to a path and access your files through a nice web interface.

+# Authentication
+
+There are three possible authentication methods. Each one of them has its own capabilities and specification. Adding another authentication method is described in [Building File Browser](../CONTRIBUTING.md#authentication-provider).
+
+## JSON Auth (default)
+
+We call it JSON Authentication but it is just the default authentication method and the one that is provided by default if you don't make any changes. It is set by default, but if you've made changes before you can revert to using JSON auth:
+
+```sh
+filebrowser config set --auth.method=json
+```
+
+This method can also be extended with **reCAPTCHA** verification during login:
+
+```sh
+filebrowser config set --auth.method=json \
+  --recaptcha.key site-key \
+  --recaptcha.secret private-key
+```
+
+By default, we use [Google's reCAPTCHA](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/display) service. If you live in China, or want to use other provider, you can change the host with the following command:
+
+```sh
+filebrowser config set --recaptcha.host https://recaptcha.net
+```
+
+Where `https://recaptcha.net` is any provider you want.
+
+## Proxy Header
+
+If you have a reverse proxy you want to use to login your users, you do it via our `proxy` authentication method. To configure this method, your proxy must send an HTTP header containing the username of the logged in user:
+
+```sh
+filebrowser config set --auth.method=proxy --auth.header=X-My-Header
+```
+
+Where `X-My-Header` is the HTTP header provided by your proxy with the username.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> 
+> File Browser will blindly trust the provided header. If the proxy can be bypassed, an attacker could simply attach the header and get admin access. Please ensure that File Browser is not accessible from untrusted networks, and that the proxy is correctly configured to strip/overwrite the header from client requests.
+
+## Hook Authentication
+
+The Hook Authentication method in FileBrowser allows developers to delegate user authentication to an external script or program. Instead of validating credentials internally, FileBrowser sends the username and password to a custom command defined by the administrator. This command receives the credentials through environment variables and returns key‑value pairs indicating whether the user should be authenticated, blocked, or passed through.
+
+The hook’s output controls user permissions, scope, locale, and other attributes, making it a powerful and extensible authentication mechanism.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+>
+> The submitted username and password are attacker-controlled and are handed to your hook command as the `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` environment variables. File Browser runs the command directly, without a shell, so the values themselves are inert. However, your script must treat them as untrusted: always quote them (`"$USERNAME"`, `"$PASSWORD"`) and never pass them unquoted to a shell, `eval`, `bash -c`, command substitution, or backticks. A hook script that shell-evaluates these values turns any login request into remote code execution.
+
+For example, the following code delegates filebrowser authentication to a PowerShell script on Windows. You can configure any command (for example, a script in Python, Node.js, etc.).
+
+```sh
+filebrowser config set --auth.method=hook --auth.command="powershell.exe -File C:\route\to\your\script\auth.ps1"
+```
+
+This is the code for the auth.ps1 script
+
+```sh
+param()
+
+# Get FileBrowser credentials from environment variables
+$username = $env:USERNAME
+$password = $env:PASSWORD
+
+# Users dictionary (for testing purposes only)
+$users = @{
+    "admin" = "kideW48v7-SdE*"
+    "test"  = "2sDd3-etrytñK"
+}
+
+# Check if the user exists in the dictionary and verify the password
+if ($users.ContainsKey($username) -and $users[$username] -eq $password) {
+
+    # Successful authentication
+    Write-Output "hook.action=auth"        # Hook action (in this case, "auth", is required for successful authentication)
+
+    Write-Output "user.perm.admin=true"    # Set admin role (all permissions)
+    #You can also define specific permissions like this:
+    Write-Output "user.perm.execute=true"
+    Write-Output "user.perm.create=true"
+    Write-Output "user.perm.rename=true"
+    Write-Output "user.perm.modify=true"
+    Write-Output "user.perm.delete=true"
+    Write-Output "user.perm.share=true"
+    Write-Output "user.perm.download=true"
+
+    Write-Output "user.locale=es"          # Set language
+    Write-Output "user.viewMode=list"      # Set view mode
+    Write-Output "user.scope=/"            # Set FileBrowser scope
+    Write-Output "user.singleClick=true"   # Set single click user configuration
+    Write-Output "user.hideDotfiles=false" # Set hide dot files user configuration
+
+    #Set other configuration
+} else {
+    # Block authentication
+    Write-Output "hook.action=block"
+}
+```
+
+### Hook Output Format
+
+A hook authentication script must output a series of key–value pairs, one per line, using the format:
+
+```
+key=value
+```
+
+FileBrowser reads these lines and applies the corresponding authentication action and user configuration.
+
+#### Required Fields
+
+The hook must output one of the following actions:
+
+| Key    | Description |
+|--------|------------ |
+| hook.action=auth | Authenticates the user. FileBrowser will create or update the user if needed. |
+| hook.action=block | Rejects authentication. The login attempt fails. |
+| hook.action=pass | Delegates authentication to FileBrowser’s internal password validation. |
+
+For most custom authentication flows, auth or block are used.
+
+Example of a successful authentication:
+
+```sh
+hook.action=auth
+```
+
+#### Optional User Fields
+
+When `hook.action=auth` is returned, the hook may also define additional user attributes. These fields override FileBrowser defaults and allow full customization of the authenticated user.
+
+1. Permissions
+```
+user.perm.admin=true
+user.perm.execute=true
+user.perm.create=true
+user.perm.rename=true
+user.perm.modify=true
+user.perm.delete=true
+user.perm.share=true
+user.perm.download=true
+```
+> Setting user.perm.admin=true automatically enables all permissions.
+
+2. User Interface and Behavior
+```
+user.locale=es
+user.viewMode=list
+user.singleClick=true
+user.hideDotfiles=false
+```
+
+3. User Scope
+```
+user.scope=/
+```
+
+## No Authentication
+
+We also provide a no authentication mechanism for users that want to use File Browser privately such in a home network. By setting this authentication method, the user with **id 1** will be used as the default users. Creating more users won't have any effect.
+
+```sh
+filebrowser config set --auth.method=noauth
+```
