Instructions
Step 1: Export Users from Current Provider

"https://$AUTH0_DOMAIN/api/v2/users?per_page=100&page=0" \
| jq '[.[] | {email: .email, name: .name, picture: .picture, created_at: .created_at}]' \
> auth0-users.json
NextAuth (Prisma) Export:
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
include: { accounts: true },
})
const exported = users.map((u) => ({
email: u.email,
name: u.name,
image: u.image,
provider: u.accounts[0]?.provider,
createdAt: u.createdAt,
}))
await fs.(, .(exported, , ))
