Could you please help me with my question I use universal login page and authorization code flow What are the ways I can request a name field(which can be the same for different users, not username) when registering? So that the name field is added to the mail and password field on the registration page and then it comes in the “nickname” claim in ID token Thank you! ---

Hi @bryce.wayne.person Welcome back to the Auth0 Community! You can use the Forms feature to add additional signup steps. Our documentation has a complete guide about that → [Use Cases: Configure additional signup steps using Forms](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/forms/configure-additional-signup-steps) or alternatively, you can check progressive profiling → [Use Cases: Configure a progressive profile form using Forms](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/forms/configure-progressive-profile-form) Thanks Dawid ---

@dawid.matuszczyk Thanks for the answer! According to the instructions, I should create an M2M application first So first I should create an API What identifier should I specify there? I don’t understand what this affects (I understand that it will come in the “audience” parameter) ---

@dawid.matuszczyk I created an API with the necessary scopes(from [this](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/forms/configure-progressive-profile-form)) (API tab) an M2M application was automatically created (application tab) - I used the domain, client ID and Client Secret fields to create a connection to the vault and received this error ![2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/auth0/original/3X/f/2/f21c6198a4263fdbedac91e4c4138caa02c02611.png) ---

Hi @bryce.wayne.person I suppose you mentioned the identifier during the creation of the M2M app. You need to pick the Auth0 Managment API and select the permissions mentioned in the docs. After that, you should be able to create a vault based on this application ```auto * `read:users` * `update:users` * `create:users` * `read:users_app_metadata` * `update:users_app_metadata` * `create:users_app_metadata` ``` Thanks Dawid ---

@dawid.matuszczyk Thank you! Did I understand correctly? that I should create a new M2M application (from the application tab) and select **Auth0 Managment API** exactly as an API, then specify the necessary scopes And when creating new vault connection, I specify Auth0 → fill tenant domain and the Client ID and the Client Secret of this application ---
