Firebase provides authentication for users using the FIRAuth Clases/API

However they can't be edited with custom fields like the Firebase Database.

To allow custom fields for user, you need to duplicate users in the Database with the same unique uid you receive in the auth of the user. Something like this

if let user = FIRAuth.auth()?.currentUser {
  let name = user.displayName
  let email = user.email
  let photoUrl = user.photoURL
  let uid = user.uid; 

  let ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference()
  let key = uid

        let userDict = [ "name"    : name ,
                         "email"   : email,
                     "photoUrl"    : photoUrl]

        let childUpdates = ["/users/\(key)": userDict]
        ref.updateChildValues(childUpdates, withCompletionBlock: { (error, ref) -> Void in
              // now users exist in the database
        })
} 

We push it at the users end point in our db and with the uid key by the following line /users/\(key).
