Cannot add custom claim to access token via Actions

Help
1

Hey all,

Trying to add some custom metadata to my access tokens using Actions and it doesn’t seem to be working. Running the action seems ok, I am able to add custom claims to the ID token too. Here is my Action:

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  api.accessToken.setCustomClaim("yahadsf", "working")
  api.idToken.setCustomClaim("idyah", "yah")
  // if (event.authorization) {
  //   api.accessToken.setCustomClaim("myapp_id", event.user.user_metadata.myapp_id);
  // }
};

Appreciate the help, thanks!

Hi @bmorrisondev

Welcome to the Auth0 Community, it’s great to have you here.

You may need to add a namespace, simplest implementation might look like this:

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  api.accessToken.setCustomClaim("https://mynamespace/fave-colour", "Blue");
};

You can see more details here https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis/scopes/sample-use-cases-scopes-and-claims#add-custom-claims-to-a-token

Warm regards.
