Guardian-push restricting me from editing app config

Hi everyone!

I am sorry about the discomfort and issues caused by the error above in your tenants preventing to save the configuration.

For more information related to the error, it appears to be caused by the new Client Initiated Back Channel Authentication feature. This flag appears to be generated automatically for new applications if it is enabled on the tenant, however, in the case of users in this topic, it appears to have been migrated to preexisting applications. Otherwise, this feature is still in Early Access.

As I have mentioned previously and other users confirmed this, the solution would be to remove the "async_approval_notification_channels": ["guardian-push"] field by setting it to null.

This can be done in the following ways:

  • Via the Dashboard under the application’s settings. You should see a section titled Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) where you will be able to turn off the guardian-push option
  • If the section above does not appear, check you application’s grants by going to Advanced → Grant Types → Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication and enable/disable it and check if the section mentioned above appears.
  • Disable it from the Auth0 Management API by setting the value to null. The body should be:
{
"async_approval_notification_channels": null
}

  • If you are using Terraform or Deploy CLI, removing the flag or setting it again to null inside the respective yaml/tf files.

This should do the trick in getting rid of the error and be able to modify your application’s configuration.

Kind Regards,
Nik
