[React] Get permissions for authenticated user through Auth0Client.getUser()

Welcome to the Community!

getUser() reads the data in the ID token. You can add additional user profile attributes to the ID token using a rule. For example, here is a sample rule that adds the attribute app_metadata.uuid (assuming such an attribute exists) to the ID token:

github.com

dmark/auth0-cli-utilities/blob/master/rules/add-uuid-to-idtoken.js

function (user, context, callback) {
  // recommended namespace is a URL-formatted string
  // var namespace = "https://${YOUR_DOMAIN}/claims/"
  var namespace = "https://sr2.ca/claims/";
  
  user.app_metadata = user.app_metadata || {};
  user.app_metadata.uuid = user.app_metadata.uuid || {};
  
  context.idToken[namespace + "uuid"] = user.app_metadata.uuid;
  
  callback(null, user, context);
}
