Hi Team,
We have a use case where we need to directly access and query user details from the Auth0 user database from an application . Is it possible like we can access the ldap directory system. What type of database Auth0 uses.
Welcome to the Auth0 Community!
Reading through your use-case, I believe that you can achieve reading user details with the Management API tool provided by Auth0, that can be used to Get a User or Get a List of users.
The way you can implement this would be to create a M2M application, then authorize it to access the Management API and use it to call the API. You will need to apply specific scopes for your use-case, such as read:users.
One limiting factor that you need to be mindful of would be the rate limits applied to the API → you can read more about this in our following documentation.
The Auth0 database does not function the same way as an LDAP server and I believe that the specifics of how it is constructed are not publicly available, the Management API being the Auth0-provided way of accessing and changing data.
Hope this helped!
Gerald
