Hi,

I need help. Which permissions (scopes) do I need if I want to do the following?

1. Write in the local SQL server database
2. Get the username (ex.: HttpContext.User.Identity.Name)

Thank you!

Hey there @dotaolaoqua !

1. This is really outside of the scope of Auth0 scopes - This is more related to your own application’s logic and how you manage it.
2. If you are looking to use an SDK method like `HttpContext.User.Identity.Name` then the user will need an ID Token. This will be included if the `profile` scope is passed in however you are authorizing users. If you are instead referring to using the Management API directly with a Management API [access token](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/tokens/access-tokens/management-api-access-tokens) then you will need an access token with the `read:users` scope to hit the [get users by id endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/get_users_by_id).

Hope this helps!
