Problem statement

We are trying to update the access token expiration for Auth0 Management API through the tenant.yml file. We tried configuring it from the tenant yml file, and got the below error:

Something went wrong. <%= "Error: ValidationError: You can not configure the 'Auth0 Management API'." %>

Solution

Yes, it’s not possible to make changes to the Auth0 Management API configuration with the Deploy CLI tool. This is set programmatically here:

github.com

auth0/auth0-deploy-cli/blob/54d81746f55e2bef503a99c09bc81bd40ec0d295/src/tools/auth0/handlers/resourceServers.ts#L110


      
              const { resourceServers } = assets;
          
              // Do nothing if not set
              if (!resourceServers) return;
          
              const mgmtAPIResource = resourceServers.find(
                (r) => r.name === constants.RESOURCE_SERVERS_MANAGEMENT_API_NAME
              );
              if (mgmtAPIResource) {
                throw new ValidationError(
                  `You can not configure the '${constants.RESOURCE_SERVERS_MANAGEMENT_API_NAME}'.`
                );
              }
          
              await super.validate(assets);
            }
          }
