User Data Migration

Once your user accounts have been migrated over to SuperTokens, additional information like metadata, roles and permissions can be associated with the user.

User Metadata Migration​

SuperTokens allows you to store arbitrary data that is JSON serializable against a userId.

In this example we want to store the following metadata against our user:

{
    "someKey": "someValue" 
}
curl --location --request PUT '<CORE_API_ENDPOINT>/recipe/user/metadata' \
--header 'api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
--data-raw '{
  "userId": "5acb2dbc-04f0-4c80-822a-7f06cd658f6f",
  "metadataUpdate": {
    "someKey": "someValue"
  }
}'

User Roles Migration​

SuperTokens allows you to assign roles and permissions to a userId.

In this example we will be assigning the admin role to a user:

curl --location --request PUT '<CORE_API_ENDPOINT>/recipe/user/role' \
--header 'api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
--data-raw '{
  "role": "admin",
  "userId": "5acb2dbc-04f0-4c80-822a-7f06cd658f6f"

}'
Important

Roles and permissions must be created before they can be assigned to a user. You can follow this guide on creating roles and permissions in SuperTokens.
