Question

Hi Is it possible to either specify a user ID during creation I use passwordless or update the ID at a later date I ve seen user mapping as a technique but it would be awesome to have more granular control Just wondering thanks

yes < Gav>

Have a look at our docs for user Id mapping https supertokens com docs passwordless migration from auth0 account migration userid mapping overriding all functions on the backend which take userid as input or return userid in their response

rp · Answer

while it s in the context of migration from auth0 the same technique can be applied for what you want to do

is this what you were looking for

Gav · Answer

Sort of it s definitely helpful though I was originally asking if there was a way to permanently update the SuperTokens user ID in the supertokens DB through the API or to specify the ID when using a signInUp API call

rp · Answer

ah right that s not possibel unfortunately

rp · Answer

but if you implement this then to your backend code it s as if the userId is changed from supertoken s side itself

Gav · Answer

Yup this will solve the issue regardless just was looking to avoid wiring things together with custom code Thanks again
