Hi, we are using social login (google-oauth2) for our apps. Today I tried to add a new user but it gives me the below error. We are not using database connections though.  
Do you have any idea about what could cause this (we are on starter plan)

Hi there - welcome to the Auth0 Community!

This is because Social users are provisioned from the Social Connection. You can not manually create a Social user - you can only manually create Database users. That means that, when you’re trying to create a user, it’s trying to create a DB user, but since you have no DBs, it throws an error.

Hopefully this helps!
