We’d like to use Auth0 for authentication only and not user management. We’re like continue using our user table from our Postgres database for our web app.

One way I could see this happening is the user authenticates with Auth0 and when redirected to our web app, we could map the username (email address) to our user table.

Is this a good way to go about it? Has anyone does this before? Is there any documentation that would help in implementing this flow?

Thanks!

Hi @yodude ,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

[This](https://auth0.com/blog/configuring-postgresql-as-auth0-custom-database/#Enabling-Custom-Databases) blog article explains how to configure PostgreSQL as Auth0 Custom Database.

Hope this helps!
