Auth0 as User Database

Hi Dan,

I did read this but confess I’m not 100% clear.

Auth0 states in some docs that if the data is “identity” related it belongs in user metadata (and it is in my case). However in others it states if its “needed for authentication” it belongs in user metadata (and in this case it’s not, for example I don’t need the university the user attended for him/her to login).

Ideally we want to use Auth0, as an additional store complicates things from an architecture point of view.

Can you clarify that? Thanks again!
