Hello,

I have a single page app in next.js, and I was wondering how could I get the managemeant api access token to make a management API call without requiring stepup authentification.

Thank you!

I want the user to be able to modify their user_metadata and change their password on the page I created for that purpose in my next.js app. Therefore, I need to get a Management API access token to be able to call the Management API. To do this I found that I can create an M2M application in Auth0 and get the management api access token through the client_credential flow. It works through Postman, however when I try implementing it in my next.js app, I get CORS issues.

  1. I was wondering if this was the correct way of getting the management api access token, since if I request the token using grant_type “password” to my SPA, the user will have to complete an MFA challenge.

  2. If this is the correct way, how can I fix the CORS issues (I am following the exact method to get the token in the Node.js way shown here)

Thank you for your help!

I am pretty certain that requesting the token through M2M is the correct way of doing things. To fix the CORS issues, simply request it through your backend instead of your frontend.
