Social identities
identities contains the user info retrieved from social sign-in (i.e., sign-in with a social connector). Each user's identities is stored in an individual JSON object.
The user info varies by social identity provider (i.e., social network platform), and it typically includes the following:
- target of the identity provider, such as "facebook", "google", or "wechat"
- User's unique identifier for this provider
- User's name
- User's verified email
- User's avatar
The user's account may be linked to multiple social identity providers via social sign-in; the corresponding user info retrieved from these providers will be stored in the identities object.
Sample identities from a user who signed in with both WeChat and Facebook:
{
"facebook": {
"userId": "5110888888888888",
"details": {
"id": "5110888888888888",
"name": "John Joe",
"email": "[email protected]",
"avatar": "https://example.com/avatar.png"
}
},
"wechat": {
"userId": "O8sU-6JWMMNZzuXo6-xaEjouyQZ8",
"details": {
"id": "O8sU-6JWMMNZzuXo6-xaEjouyQZ8",
"name": "John Joe",
"avatar": "https://example.com/avatar.png"
}
}
}
The identities can NOT be updated using "Admin Console" or "Management API".
Every time the user signs in with a social connector, their identities will be automatically imported or updated from the identity provider.
