Looking to use auth0 as purely an identity provider, while I have my own authorization layer that can translate an identity token into an access token with the respective claims. As such, I can build a post login action that would decorate the auth0 access token with the claims from my own authorization layer, however I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace the access token in its entirety and just return the access token that my authorization layer api provides ---

Hi @dmoldovan, Welcome to the Auth0 Community! You cannot use an Action to replace the access token in its entirety. ---
