I use custom login and I would like to access user profile.  
I use https://${AUTH0\_DOMAIN}/oauth/ro end point and added  
‘scope’: ‘openid profile’ into the connection details.  
After a successful login, I can only see id\_token, access\_token and bearer. The user profile info is missing. How could I access that info?

Hi @nurlan.nurmanov can you post the code that is calling the endpoint. I want to understand what you have implemented before suggesting anything.

Hi,  
I think I found the answer. The documentation for /oauth/ro says the following:

Use this endpoint for API-based (active) authentication. Given the user credentials and the connection specified, it will do the authentication on the provider and return a JSON with the access\_token and id\_token.

So it only return access\_token and id\_token.

The other endpoints, such as /userinfo or /tokeninfo return user profile data. So I shall need to call those endpoints to access the profile info. Am I correct?

Correct - you can obtain the user profile via the `/userinfo` endpoint.
