I have configured Facebook and Google for SSO. My users are able to login to discourse using her Facebook or Google account. I will now like to access Facebook/Google account details of the created discourse user such as Unique Id, name , email received from Facebook or Google.
I accessed user details using users/username.json. However I am not able to find anything in the JSON which is saying that the user was created from Google or Facebook and more details about the same.

Any tips here @sam I know we do display the various login info on the user, showing which login methods are connected, so it is kinda available.

There is no API really to expose the information and we only take a bare skeleton of the data.
For Facebook we have:
```plaintext
#,
```
It appears that recently facebook have gotten even more strict and restricted data flow.

Thanks sam
The facebook\_user\_id you had mentioned , is it stored in Discourse user
profile somewhere? Can I access it using API?

The facebook\_user\_id is an application-specific user ID, that is, it only means anything in combination with the API keys used. They’re not giving you a real user ID that you can give to any other application.

Hi Kane,
May be I have referred wrong id. What I am looking for is a unique id Facebook gives after implementing Facbook Login.
1. Please visit
[https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/web](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/web)
2. pl go to section -\>1. Checking Login Status
3. Check the contents of response object {
status: ‘connected’,
authResponse: {
accessToken: ‘…’,
expiresIn:‘…’,
signedRequest:‘…’,
**userID:‘…’**
}
}
I have highlighted UserID in above response. userID is the ID of the person using the app. I am interested in knowing this id returned by facebook to discourse.
Regards
Prasad

I have similar concerns: I have a forum with Facebook only logins. But people can change their user names (first name/last name) and emails. In user profile I can see only “Connected acounts: Facebook()” - that’s all.
So I’d like to have any relation to original FB account from Discourse account. Is it possible?

Data can be accessed on the console using `UserAssociatedAccount.where(provider_name: "facebook").all`
We also now allow users to disconnect/reconnect accounts:
