Hi,

I’m trying to configure my Auth0 connection to pass extra static parameters to my upstream IDP. It looks like this is supported in this article:

> **[Pass Parameters to Identity Providers](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/pass-parameters-to-idps)**
>
> Describes how to pass parameters to an Identity Provider API.

Does this mean I need to use the management API in order to do this? There does not seem to be a way to do this in the UI.

Hi @hugohugo,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Yes, in order to set up upstream params you will need to set those up via calls to the management API. If you are having trouble I would be happy to help you format the calls you are looking for.

Thanks - I was able to do this using test credentials directly on the docs page (using the “try” buttons)
