I’m using API v8 and my client type is SPA. My test user has this app\_metadata defined:

```
{
      "authorization": {
    "roles": 
      "admin"
    ],
    "permissions": 
      "admin"
    ]
  }
}

```

After login, I can’t read those values. The scope gets

```
{
  email: "email@test.com"
  email_verified:false
  name:"name"
  nickname:"user"
  picture:"https://s.gravatar.com/avatar/xxxxcdn.auth0.com.png"
  sub:"auth0|5??a29b391??????123464"
  updated_at:"2017-06-27T22:22:03.087Z"
}

```

but how do I get the roles?  
Thanks!

You can assign those claims to the `id_token` (or `access_token`) via a Rule, outlined further here:

> **[OpenID Connect Scopes](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis/scopes/openid-connect-scopes)**
>
> Understand scopes and claims used with the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol.
