Previous state

Auth0 Token Vault assumed an active signed-in user for the described third-party token exchange flow.

Current state

A trusted worker identity can authenticate with Private Key JWT or mTLS and request a specified user's third-party token without an active user session, within configured connection and scope limits.

Who needs to care

Auth0 customers evaluating background or scheduled agent workflows that need controlled third-party token access through Token Vault.

What to do

Treat the capability as Early Access, request enablement through the Auth0 account team where available, and constrain worker credentials to the minimum required connections and scopes.

What the source does not prove

The source proves Early Access and the described worker-identity token exchange. It does not establish general availability, automatic tenant enablement or unrestricted third-party token access.
