Explains the basics of a User profile, how to create a user and view users and their profile details.	/user-profile	true

User Profile

The Auth0 User Profile is the set of attributes that contains specific information about a user. User Profile information may include the user's name, email address, contact information, and so on. Please see Structure of the User Profile for more information about the attributes available on the User Profile.

User Profile attributes can come from many places. Attributes may be returned by the authenticating service (such as Facebook), as well as via custom databases and web services. Auth0 refers to all attribute sources as Connections because Auth0 connects to them to authenticate the user.

For more information about User Profiles, please see User Profile: In-Depth Details.

Manage User Profiles in the Management Dashboard

Use the Auth0 Management Dashboard ("Dashboard") to manage User Profiles.

Within the Dashboard, you can create, view, modify, or delete users. These options are available via the Users page.

Note: User Management is included as part of the Developer subscription plan. You may need to upgrade your plan to access these features.

Create a New User

To create a new user and their corresponding User Profile, click the Users page in the Dashboard. Click the +Create User button at the top right of the Users page. You will be prompted to enter the following information:

• Email: the user's email address. The maximum length is 64 chars for the user/local part and 256 chars for the domain part.
• Password: the user's password. There is no limit for max password length. For more information refer to Password Strength in Auth0 Database Connections.
• Repeat Password: retype the user's password to ensure that you entered the password correctly.
• Connection: the database connection to use to authenticate the user. The dropdown lists all the configured database connections in your account. The connection you use must be associated with a Client.

Fill in the required information and click Save to create the new user. For more information refer to: Creating Users via the Management Dashboard.

View Users

The Users page lists the users who are associated with your apps. To open a particular user, click the user profile picture or name in the "Name" column. The User Details page will open and display information for that user.

The User Details page has links for five tabs:

1. Details
2. Devices
3. History
4. Locations
5. Raw JSON

User Details: Details

The Details tab contains three sections that provide a high-level overview of the information in the user's profile:

1. User Identity provides at-a-glance details about the user, including their email address, associated Connections, and access rights.
2. Metadata displays the information available via the app_metadata and user_metadata attributes. Click the "Edit" button in this section to edit the user's user_metadata attributes. Note that all app_metadata attributes are read-only.
3. Identity Provider Attributes displays the information retrieved from the authentication provider. Note that Identity Provider Attributes are read-only.

User Details: Devices

The Devices tab lists the devices with which the user has requested authentication. Requesting authorization on a device links the device to the user's account.

Login details for the user are associated with the refresh token assigned to that device. To revoke the refresh token, click "Unlink" next to the device.

User Details: History

The History tab displays a log of the user's account activity for the past 2 days.

The logs include information about:

• Events that have occurred.
• When the events occurred.
• The apps associated with the events.
• The identity provider used for authentication.
• The originating IP addresses for the events.
• Where the events originated.

User Details: Locations

The Locations tab displays a map with pins indicating the user's location(s) when they logged in to the apps.

User Details: Raw JSON

The Raw JSON tab displays all of the information contained on the user's profile in JSON format so you can quickly view all of the available information about the user.

• The applications registered in the account must have at least one callback URL listed.
• The applications must have the connections that the impersonated user belongs to turned on.

A popup will display the URL to use to impersonate the user. You can copy the URL into the clipboard (white button) or open the URL in a separate browser tab/window (blue button).

::: panel-info Impersonation API You can also use the Impersonation API to impersonate a user. The API generates a link that you can used once to log in as a specific user. To distinguish between real logins and impersonation logins, the profile of the impersonated user will contain additional impersonated and impersonator properties. :::
