Defining User Management

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
id | The unique identifier for the user. |
externalId | Optional. An identifier linking the user to an external system or your game. |
createdAt | The timestamp when the user was created. |
updatedAt | The timestamp when the user was last updated. |
teamId | The unique identifier of the team (game) the user belongs to. |
Purpose of Managing Users
- User Linkage: Create a persistent connection between your game’s user and Forge.
- State Management: Associate spaces and item inventories with the user for seamless gameplay data management.
A user in Forge represents the same player in your game, ensuring their state
and inventory are always synchronized.
Example Use Case
- Inventory Management: Store item inventories in spaces tied to the user for persistent access across sessions.
By linking your users with Forge, you can ensure persistence, manage their state effectively, and provide a seamless experience for players.
