Auth0 enforces connection-options scopes in the Management API

Auth0 began the final rollout that requires read:connections_options and update:connections_options for Management API access to connection options and removes tenant reversion.

Auth0Management APIconnection optionsOAuth scopesenforcement

Previous state

Tenants could retain or temporarily revert to deprecated connection-options behavior using read:connections and update:connections without options-specific scopes.

Current state

As tenants receive phase 4, connection options require read:connections_options or update:connections_options and the migration toggle can no longer restore the deprecated behavior.

Who needs to care

Auth0 Management API integrations that read or update connection options.

What to do

Grant the options-specific scopes where appropriate and handle omitted options and 403 insufficient_scope responses.

What the source does not prove

29 September marks the beginning of a sequential rollout that may take weeks; it is not a universal exact per-tenant cutover day.

Lifecycle history

Dated event sequence
