Authorization Extention Rule migration to Action

Ready to post? :mag: First, try searching for your answer.
We’re currently using the Authorization Extension in our application. Given that rules are being deprecated, can we leverage actions to populate user metadata with group roles and scopes from the authorization extention? This information is essential for adding roles and scopes to the Id and Access token for subsequent validation in our application and backend.

Currently, the Authorization Extension creates a rule to accomplish this. Will this process transition to using actions?

Is there perhaps a sample to covert the current rule created by the authorization extention to a action

We have tried to creat a action but seems getting errors call ing the authorization api

Hey there @thomask !

For now, I would continue to rely on the rule. There isn’t an easy way write an action to achieve the same results using groups, roles, etc. defined in the authorization extension. I know the team is still working on the details of migrating this extension in particular, and you can expect there to be official communication from Auth0 regarding how to move forward.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
