Auth create user metadata

Hi! I want to use the sign up form in my website to capture the user's name. I have seen in the docs that I can send additional properties via the data option:

const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp(
  {
    email: 'example@email.com',
    password: 'example-password',
    options: {
      data: {
        first_name: 'John',
        age: 27,
      }
    }
  }
)

const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp(
  {
    email: 'example@email.com',
    password: 'example-password',
    options: {
      data: {
        first_name: 'John',
        age: 27,
      }
    }
  }
)

I have tried that, but I don't know what happens with those properties. Are they stored somewhere? Can I retrieve them later? I expected those properties to become columns in the Auth user list, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

They will be added as json to the raw_user_meta_data column. They will also be in user metadata claim of the JWT
