Read custom claims/scope from access token in actions

Help

We are evaluating the migrations of rules to actions.

I could see examples about how to set the custom claims to an access token in actions. But how do we read the claims from access token in actions? Atleast as far as i could see, only api.accessToken has setCustomClaims method. Is there any other way to achieve this?

Also we are reading and altering access token scopes in our rules. It seems, it is a limitation in actions. Do we have any alternative to achieve this?.

Hi @mathiarul.g

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Thanks for posting your question, can I clarify it? You are asking if it’s possible to read claims from the access token before adding a new one/modifying existing ones. Am I right?

Thanks

Hi @dawid.matuszczyk , Thanks for the reply.

Yes, exactly. We do that in our existing rules. We read a particular claim, check if there are any existing value, do some validations and append some values and so on…

Any answer to this question? I’m running into the same problem. I cannot figure out how to read claims in an action.

@dawid.matuszczyk @mathiarul.g - was there ever a resolution/answer to this issue/question? We’d like to do the same thing.
