I have created a web app and use Auth0 for authentication. Each user has his own page with personal data. How can I connect an user logged via Auth0 to my Mysql database in order to retrieve and update his specific data?

Hi @rutiglianomassimilia , You can use the sub claim from the token (this is the user ID). Or you can store a seperate database ID in the user’s app_metadata and add it to the token.

I use React SDK, if there is no solution to the problem I will have to use the email as an identifier.
