No interaction user authentication

Hello,

I have what I think is a pretty straightforward OAuth-ish scenario, but I’m struggling to model it in Auth0.

My plan was:

  • Get ExternalApp to use the client credentials flow to authenticate itself to my API and receive an externalAppToken that expires in 24 hours, but receives a refresh token for itself
  • Depending on the ExternalApp, I want to be able to give it the auth.userToken.create permission
  • If the ExternalApp has the above permission, it can hit an endpoint on my API and receive a user token that expires in 2 hours
  • The ExternalApp can then use the userToken to go to the user API and fetch information about the user

Can someone point me to some docs or a blueprint of how I can accomplish this?

Welcome and thank you for posting in Auth0 Community!

Sorry for the huge delay in this, please let me know if you still need assistance. Have looked at this doc: Call Your API Using the Client Credentials Flow

First, you have to make sure you follow these steps:

Please let me know if this helps!
