Linking data to auth users¶

The Auth microservice assigns a unique integer identifier called hasura_id to every user registered on it.

It is a common requirement to link data in a table with users maintained by the Auth microservice. This can be achieved by adding a new column called user_id (or any other name of your choice) of type integer to the table and storing the hasura_id of the user in it while adding a row.

For a logged in user, the hasura_id can be obtained like this

Note

The user_id field can now be used to define ownership of the rows in the table. ie: limit users to fetch/edit their own data only. See data permissions for more details.
