06/23/2023, 9:36 AMAlso are user contexts emphemeral or persistent?
bladerpc
06/23/2023, 9:36 AMMaybe what I am actually lookin for is the user metadata store

bladerpc
06/23/2023, 9:37 AMlet me look into the metadata docs instead, but the above is useful too

06/23/2023, 9:53 AMCan you elaborate on that one 👀
r
rp_st
06/23/2023, 9:55 AMright. You can save info in the access token payload / session data in db, and this data will be saved per session.
If you want to save some data per user, you can use our metadata recipe.
