I’m currently working on managing database connections in Auth0, and I want to know if it’s possible to export and import these connections using the Auth0 CLI or Management API.

After using the Deploy CLI I noticed it imported my applications and setting to my staging Tenant, however the database connections are missing.

I am curious about the following:

1. Can I export existing database connection settings?
2. Is there a way to import these settings into another Auth0 tenant or environment?
3. What CLI commands or API endpoints should I be looking at for this task?

Thank you in advance!

I identified the cause of the missing imports. The process would proceed smoothly until it encountered an error related to importing a specific security setting. At that point, the import process would halt, preventing further imports from being completed.
