How does appwrite store users, is there a way to store additional user data in the user profile apart from preferences.

Summary

Appwrite stores users by allowing developers to manage permissions on a document level. Extra user data can be stored in a user collection by retrieving the $id from authentication info and using it to create/find the user document with the specific ID.

You can store user data in a userCollection
You can retrieve the $id from auth info.
Then create/find thr user docuement with this id instead of ID.unique().

Yes, that is a way but with user auth data itself I was wondering.

No
You cant keep extra info along with auth.

Was the question about security?
Like If read/update permission is given to user then any user can view other user info if they have the id?

No, that can be managed by permissions on document level.
