Closes #11369 # Which Problems Are Solved During SSO login with an external IdP, Actions v2 lets you manipulate the `RetrieveIdentityProviderIntent` response to shape the user that ZITADEL creates or updates. There was an inconsistency between the two flows: - **First login (user does not exist):** the response carried an `addHumanUser` object (mirroring the deprecated `AddHumanUser` API), which **does** allow setting user `metadata`. - **Subsequent logins (user exists):** the response carried an `updateHumanUser` object (mirroring the deprecated `UpdateHumanUser` API), which does **not** support metadata. As a result, actions could set metadata when creating a user but not when updating one. Customers doing SSO attribute mapping had to make a separate `SetUserMetadata` call on every subsequent login — extra latency and a non-atomic update. The proto/backend already gained a non-deprecated `user_action` oneof (`create_user` → `CreateUserRequest`, `update_user` → `UpdateUserRequest`, both supporting metadata), but the login app was still reading the deprecated flat fields, so the new capability was unreachable from the frontend. # How the Problems Are Solved Migrate the login app's IDP intent handler to consume the new `user_action` oneof, with a fallback to the deprecated fields so older API responses keep working during the transition. - **`zitadel.ts`** — added `createUser` / `updateUser` client wrappers calling the non-deprecated `UserService.CreateUser` / `UserService.UpdateUser` endpoints. - **`idp-intent.ts`** — added three helpers, each preferring `user_action` and falling back to `add_human_user` / `update_human_user`: - `resolveCreateUser` — flat read view for org resolution, required-field checks, and registration-form pre-fill. - `buildCreateUserRequest` — passes the action's `CreateUserRequest` through and injects the resolved `organizationId`; maps the deprecated flat payload into the nested shape on fallback. - `buildUpdateUserRequest` — builds an `UpdateUserRequest` **including metadata** (the fix); deliberately syncs only profile/email/phone/metadata (not username) to preserve existing auto-update behavior and avoid invalidating sessions. - Rewired all handlers (`handleUserExists`, `handleAutoLinking`, `handleAutoCreation`, `handleManualCreation`, `resolveOrganizationForUser`) to use these, and switched auto-create to read `CreateUserResponse.id`. - **Tests** — updated mocks/assertions to the new request shapes and added two cases exercising the `user_action` oneof with metadata (create + update). 817/817 login unit tests pass; no new type errors. # Additional Changes Updated the Actions v2 guide `guides/integrate/actions/testing-response-manipulation.mdx` (the unreleased/`latest` docs) to reflect the new response shape: - Go handler example now manipulates `resp.GetCreateUser()` / `resp.GetUpdateUser()` and appends `user.Metadata`, demonstrating metadata on both flows. - Both JSON payloads switched from `addHumanUser` to the nested `createUser` shape (`human.profile`, `human.email`, `human.idpLinks`, top-level `metadata`). - Added a Callout explaining first-login → `createUser` vs. existing-user → `updateUser`, that both support metadata, and that `addHumanUser`/`updateHumanUser` are deprecated. - Updated the claim-mapping debugging section to the new `createUser.human.profile.givenName` path. Versioned snapshots (`v4.12`/`v4.13`/`v4.14`) were intentionally left unchanged, as they document releases where the old API was correct. --------- Co-authored-by: gayathri <[email protected]>
