UserInfo Populate Lambda

If you would like to augment the claims provided in the UserInfo response, you can specify a lambda in the Application’s OAuth configuration.

When you create a new lambda using the FusionAuth UI we will provide you an empty function for you to implement.

Lambda Structure

If you are using the API to create the lambda you will need to ensure your function has the following signature:

function populate(userInfo, user, registration, jwt) {
  // Lambda code goes here
}

This lambda must contain a function named populate that takes four parameters. The parameters that the lambda is passed are:

userInfo - the claims object to be returned as a JSON payload
user - the FusionAuth User object. This is read-only.
registration - the FusionAuth UserRegistration object. This is read-only.
jwt - the claims object from the provided JWT. This is read-only.

The two FusionAuth objects are well documented here in the User API and Registration API documentation. The JWT object is a JavaScript object containing the JWT payload. See OpenID Connect & OAuth 2.0 Token.

You may add, remove, or modify anything in the userInfo object except for certain reserved claims. The following claims are considered reserved and modifications or removal will not be reflected in the final UserInfo response:

email
email_verified
sub
tid

Assigning The Lambda

Once a lambda is created, you must assign it to an Application. See the OAuth tab in the Application configuration.

Example Lambda

Here is an example of a simple Lambda that adds a few extra claims to the UserInfo response.

function populate(userInfo, user, registration, jwt) {
  // Add a new claim named 'favoriteColor' from a custom data attribute on the user
  userInfo.favoriteColor = user.data.favoriteColor;
  // Add a new claim named 'dept' using a custom data attribute on the registration
  userInfo.dept = registration.data.departmentName;
  // Copy a claim named 'applicationId' from the provided JWT
  userInfo.applicationId = jwt.applicationId;

  // Create an event log of type 'Debug' when the lambda has Debug enabled
  console.debug('Added custom claims to the UserInfo response');
}
