Auth0 API: users, logins and identity management with AI agents
Auth0, from Okta, has two main APIs: the Authentication API, used in login flows, and the Management API, for administering users, roles, organizations, applications and logs. Companies that offer login in their products use it. Management access is by a machine-to-machine token with scopes.
What the Auth0 API offers
Users
Search, create, block and update users.
Roles and permissions
Assign roles and permissions.
Organizations
Manage business customers and members.
Logs
Query login events and failures.
Authentication
Login flows, tokens and passwords.
Applications and connections
Configuration of apps and identity providers.
How to access the Auth0 API
- With your company’s credentialsFor management, a machine-to-machine application receives a Management API token with specific scopes; authentication uses the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows.
- Use minimal scopes on the Management API.
- There are request limits per plan.
- Access changes should have approval.

What an iTeam agent does with the Auth0 API
Login support
The user says they cannot sign in and the agent checks the logs and explains the reason to the support agent.
Suspicious blocks
The agent flags many failed logins and suggests a block for approval.
Customer access
When a contract is signed, the agent creates the organization and invites the administrator, with approval.
Role review
The agent lists users with elevated roles and asks managers to confirm.
From the credential to the agent at work, with approval
