User management in social.plus starts with your own identity system. Your app supplies a stable userId, then the SDK uses that ID for login, profile reads, profile updates, search, permissions, and moderation actions.
social.plus does not replace your account system. Keep private identity data in your backend, and send only the stable user ID plus social profile fields your product needs.

Section Map

User Identity

Choose stable user IDs and understand which social profile fields the SDK stores.

User Operations

Create users, retrieve profiles, search users, update profiles, flag users, and manage token workflows.

Roles & Permissions

Check whether the current user can perform actions in global, channel, or community scopes.

Flag and Unflag Users

Add user reporting flows for moderator review.

​
Implementation Flow

1

Choose a stable user ID

Use an immutable ID from your own system, such as a database primary key or UUID.
2

Log in or create the user

Call the SDK login method. If the userId does not exist yet, the SDK creates the user.
3

Read or update social profile fields

Use user repository APIs for profile reads, search, query, and current-user profile updates.
4

Apply safety and permission checks

Use permission checks for protected actions and flagging APIs for reporting workflows.
