Hi @vcs_account
When you declare:
```auto
....
```
A user will be created(if the user is not present in the server).
To add extra meta data, you should get the SDK instance refer: ([https://codesandbox.io/s/2-5-customizing-chatinput-wgi9d?file=/src/CustomizedMessageInput.js:3709-3756](https://codesandbox.io/s/2-5-customizing-chatinput-wgi9d?file=/src/CustomizedMessageInput.js:3709-3756))
And then call `user.updateMetaData` or `user.createMetaData` as in the link below
> **[User Channel Metadata | JavaScript Chat SDK Documentation | Sendbird](https://docs.sendbird.com/javascript/user_channel_metadata#3_user_metadata)**
>
> With metadata and metacounter which consist of key-value items, you can store additional information to users and channels. This page explains how to manage user metadata, channel metadata, and channel metacounter.

Ah, for this, most probably you need server support. Let me get you in touch with someone who can help

Hey @vcs_account,
I would also recommend using the Platform API call to [create users](https://docs.sendbird.com/platform/user#3_create_a_user) from a security perspective. As you can only issue access/session tokens via the Platform API.

@Sravan_S
I want to get specific users list in UIKit . Let’s Suppose I have 4 users **A , B , C , D**
If User **A** is logIn then he shows only **C , D** Users in Users list and when User **B**
is login then only **A , D** Users Show in Users List.
Do you have any code sample regarding to this situation.

So the recommended option here would be to customizing applicationUserListQuery

Maybe add metaDataKeyFilter / metaDataValuesFilter for users and use it to filter userlist?
[https://sendbird.github.io/core-sdk-javascript/module-model\_query\_applicationUserListQuery-ApplicationUserListQuery.html](https://sendbird.github.io/core-sdk-javascript/module-model_query_applicationUserListQuery-ApplicationUserListQuery.html)
If you cannot support your use case this way, there is another option(sadly we do not have example for it for now) I can get back to you
I will give you this

@Sravan_S,
I use this code in UIKit but data is not filtering on User metadata please guide me.
queries={{
channelListQuery: {
includeEmpty: true,
order: ‘latest\_last\_message’,
customTypesFilter: [props.areaId]
},
applicationUserListQuery: {
limit: 3,
isLoading: false,
metaDataKeyFilter : ‘areaGuid’,
```
}
}}
```

Internally we use this method internally, actually, you can call it from a component that is wrapped with `withSendBird` same as in the input example. You can acccess SDK, and you should have current channel Id in the upperscope.
You can get channel and then call groupChannel.inviteWithUserIds

```auto
const CustomizedComponent = (props) => {
const {
sdk,
// from parent component
channelUrl,
usersToAdd, // ['u1', 'u2']
} = props
sdk.GroupChannel.getChannel(channelUrl, (channel) => {
channel.inviteWithUserIds(usersToAdd, (response, error) => {
if (error) {
return;
}
});
})
}
const mapStoreToProps = store => {
const sdk = sendBirdSelectors.getSdk(store);
return {
sdk,
};
};
export default withSendBird(CustomizedComponent, mapStoreToProps);
```
Note that all components should be inside ` tree

@vcs_account about the
`I use this code in UIKit but data is not filtering on User metadata please guide me.`
Please do not override `isLoading` and `next` 🙂
You have to use metaDataKeyFilter and metaDataValuesFilter together -\>
See the example here

>

Fox example, in your case, it can be
```auto
applicationUserListQuery: {
limit: 30,
metaDataKeyFilter: 'areaGuid',
metaDataValuesFilter: ['seattle-12', 'seoul-45', 'tokyo-1']
},
```

@Sravan_S,
I am getting Users List from sendbird server but i am getting only 100 users but i want to get more than 100. Scrollbar effect is not working in my Code. Can you guide me what is happening there?
```
queries={{
channelListQuery: {
includeEmpty: true,
order: 'latest_last_message',
customTypesFilter: [props.areaId]
}
,
applicationUserListQuery: {
isLoading: false,
hasNext:true,
limit:100,
metaDataKeyFilter: props.areaName,
metaDataValuesFilter: [props.areaId],
}
}}
```
