Hi, I would like the users of my app to have the option to enter a nickname or alias the first time they use the app. When they use the app again they should not be asked anymore, and if they save any data the previously register alias should automatically be registered in the database. Is this possible?

Yes, certainly possible.

Add a column to your User Profiles table to hold the alias, and then include that both in your onboarding flow and your Edit Profile screen.
