Assume that user database means user data.

Magento has own feature where a website user account can be shared on other websites if that ALL the websites are on create from one single MYSQL DATABASE.

So, you have to go to admin>Store>Configuration>Customer>Customer Configuration.

Then go to tab Account Sharing Options.

Make Share Customer Accounts field value to GLObal.

After that changes, you have to do Reindex https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-index.html

  • Thanks for the reply, but it is not about sharing magento's user data, but rather making magento share user log in info from another database or table in the server. Imagine, installing magento on an existing website with thousands of registered users already.
