Blocking/Unblocking user with management API calls

[rueben.tiow]

Hi @narges.fallahi,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

I understand that you have questions about blocking and unblocking users with the Management API.

@narges.fallahi

If i want to globally block a user with management API calls, should I call “Update User Profile” endpoint with “blocked” property set to “true”? would that globally block the user?
And for globally unblock the user I should call the same endpoint with “false”?

Yes, that is correct. The way to globally block or unblock a user is to call the Management API UPDATE /api/v2/users endpoint with the blocked property set to true or false.

@narges.fallahi

For unblocking the “IP” address due to excessive credential attempts, I assume I should call “DELETE on /user-blocks” endpoint?

Yes, that is also correct. The method for removing IP blocks that are triggered by Auth0’s Attack Protection is by calling the Management API DELETE /api/v2/user-blocks endpoint.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. I’d be happy to help.

Thank you.
