      When a user is created using OAuth2 authentication profile fields are filled with his/her details (firstname, lastname, whatever else is sent from auth server..).

      But when the user logs again and his/her details changed in the meantime, these details are not propagated into his/her profile.

      There is a piece of code in auth/oauth2/classes/auth.php with:

      /**
      		 
           * Indicates if moodle should automatically update internal user
      		 
           * records with data from external sources using the information
      		 
           * from auth_plugin_base::get_userinfo().
      		 
           *
      		 
           * @return bool true means automatically copy data from ext to user table
      		 
           */
      		 
          public function is_synchronised_with_external() {
      		 
              return false;
      		 
          }

      which seems to be like a good place to start.
      Am I missing something or is this functionality already pressent, but hidden somewhere?

      There is also MDL-58090 which says in description:

      5. Implement a new auth plugin that displayes the installed OAuth services in a list on the login page and will login and update the user details via OAuth.
