Users who log in via Google, Facebook etc., user accounts are not created

[marcoriesco]

Your question
Users who log in via Google, Facebook etc., user accounts are not created. I have some doubts about this, because my way of thinking may be wrong.

In the ideal world, the user logs in, via Google, for example, then is redirected to another screen where he completes his registration, in which his user account has already been created.

Question, how to link the access account with a user account?

It's possible ?

Expected behavior
In my current scenario, I need exactly that, since the user must have the ability to create events, on my frontend. I have already tested and with login only access I am not allowed for anything.

Thanx for response, i'm using Mongodb.

In response, two entries are created in the bank, one in ACCOUNTS and the other in USERS, in my project I need to link Events and Orders to users, but with this type of access it does not work.

Hi there!

So the accounts collection (which contains OAuth accounts linked to that User) references the User ID in the userId property.

If you have another collection, like events or orders, then you can do something similar and include a userId property or array in each event. With a NoSQL DB like Mongo you can also easily add additional properties to a User object once it has been created.

I understand your point of view, but I believe that the relationship between user and (order, product, etc.) has to be made within the visual backend. Anyway, I was unable to link a "registered" user via social media to any collection.

What is also very relevant, as these users are not created, it is impossible to create (posts, products), whatever for .. with an authenticated user, because the generated token is not recognized by Strapi.
