Hello, I’m using Auth0 to authenticate to my Wordpress via the auth0 plugin. The issue I’m having is that the user object returned after login doesn’t include the app_metadata.
Does anyone know how to get the app_metadata from the user object? I’m using the free auth0 tier to do some testing. Maybe that’s not possible on free tier?
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi @schultzRr,
Welcome to the Auth0 Community!
It seems that the app_metadata field is not returned from the user object by default. If you need it, you might be able to make this work by appending it as a custom claim to the ID token.
If that does not work, you may need to make an API call to get the user’s app_metadata.
This should work even on the free tier.
Let me know how this goes for you.
Thanks,
Rueben
And how can I do this if I’m using the Wordpress plugin? I’m not familiar with this “custom claim to the ID token.”
The plugin I’m talking about is the official one by auth0:
