Hello,

in my auth0 tenant I allow social logins via linkedin,

I would like to allow users so log in and post on linkedin via my app,

I already followed all those steps :

> **[Call an Identity Provider API](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/calling-an-external-idp-api?_ga=2.261222221.1525467305.1616412661-1595415333.1607347674)**
>

in order to be able to get the underlying linkedin acces token of the user. The issue is that this token is missing the scope w\_member\_social. My app on linkedin is correctly configured to provide such scope but the social connection of auth0 does not allow me to select said scope.

How should I proceed ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @weilerflorent,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

You can pass custom scopes via the `connection_scope` param. See this doc for more details:

> **[Add Scopes/Permissions to Call Identity Provider APIs](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/adding-scopes-for-an-external-idp)**

> Describes how to add scopes to your IdP connection.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
