How to add user role to a user during their login

I want to separate my customers depending on user role and so far I have been using “Rules” feature of Auth0 to set roles to a user. And it worked fine. However this requires me to add user emails manually in to this rule every time someone signs up as shown below: function (user, context, callback) { user.app_metadata = user.app_metadata || {}; // You can add a Role based on what you want // In this case I check domain var addRolesToUser = function(user, cb) { if (user.email.indexO…

shows how to query SQLServer for the Role table in an external server.
I need the same solution (ask for user roles so I can add this data to the token) but to query an http server instead.
I don’t know if it is possible to use fetch library from that auth0 function (serverless style).

Is that possible?

Thanks.

@klosterr rules are node.js snippets that run in the context of a webtask behind the scenes. By default webtask ships with over a thousand node_modules, however it does not seem fetch is shipped as a default node_module. Instead you could use var request = require('request') and perform you http request with that node_module.

Thank you sgmeyer, ‘request’ library is all I need.
