Hello Auth0 Team,

I have implemented a Next.js application using Auth0 for authentication and RBAC. While the basic functionality (login, role-based access) is working, I need guidance on two specific areas:

  1. Real-time Permission Updates:

    • How to properly update user tokens when roles/permissions change
    • Best approach to refresh permissions without requiring user logout
    • Recommended way to handle permission changes in real-time

  2. Permission Validation:

    • Current implementation uses token claims for permission checks
    • Need to validate permissions both client-side and server-side
    • Looking for best practices to handle permission checks efficiently

Current Setup:

  • Next.js application with @auth0/nextjs-auth0
  • RBAC implemented using Auth0 roles and permissions
  • APIs secured with Auth0 middleware

Could you please advise on:

  1. Recommended approach for handling permission updates
  2. Best practices for token refresh when roles change
  3. Most efficient way to validate permissions across the application

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Ahmat
