Auth0

Auth0 is a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications.

🐕‍🦺 Setup guide

The source connector fetches data from Auth0 Management API

🚧

Prerequisites

  • You own an Auth0 account, free or paid.
  • Follow the Setup guide to authorize Zenskar to read data from your account.

⚙️ Set up an Auth0 account

  1. It's free to sign up an account in Auth0.
  2. Confirm your Email.

⚙️ Get a temporary access token for testing

  1. In Auth0, go to the Api Explorer tab of your Auth0 Management API. A token is automatically generated and displayed there.
  2. Click Copy Token.

More details can be found in this documentation.

⚙️ Create a new app for OAuth2 for automated token generation

  1. To allow Zenskar to make scheduled calls to Auth0, you must set up an OAuth2 integration. This helps Zenskar generate access tokens automatically.
  2. In Auth0, navigate to Dashboard > Applications > Applications.
  3. Create a new application, name it Zenskar. Choose the application type Machine to Machine Applications (M2M).
  4. Select Management API V2. This is the API Zenksar will call.
  5. Each M2M app that accesses an API must be granted a set of permissions (or scopes). Here, we only need permissions starting with read (e.g. read:users). Under the API doc, each api will list the required scopes.
  6. More details can be found from this documentation.

⚙️ Set up Auth0 as data source in Zenskar

⚙️ Set up data source and type

  1. Log into your Zenskar account.
  2. In the left navigation bar, navigate to Metering > Data Sources. In the top-right corner, click + ADD DATA SOURCE.
  3. In the Set Up Source section of the Add New Data Source page, enter a name for the Auth0 data source connection.
  4. Select Auth0 from the Source Type dropdown.

⚙️ Configure data source
