Filtering/limiting user data

Hi James,

Glad to help! Let us know if you have any more questions.

How large can the data field be for any of the FusionAuth resources?

If you're using PostgreSQL the size is essentially unlimited. With MySQL it is 16 MB.

There are few exceptions to this rule where we may be using a 64 KB column if you're on MySQL.

I wouldn't recommend storing that much data however. If you're using Elasticsearch, the custom data on the User will be indexed, and Elasticsearch will eventually hit a limit as well.

Can I query a user on their user data?

Is there a way to update user data in the UI?

If you use the advanced registration forms, you can edit user data now. This was recently released as a premium feature (requiring a paid license; more info here).
