Role based access configuration?

[JessicaMulein]

I’m trying to follow ChatGPT’s advice on how to get my custom roles listed in the JWT claims.
I’ve added this to my login flow

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
const namespace = ‘https://dualitysocial.us.auth0.com/’;

// Check if the user has roles in app_metadata or user_metadata
let roles = ;
if (event.user.app_metadata && event.user.app_metadata.roles) {
roles = event.user.app_metadata.roles;
} else if (event.user.user_metadata && event.user.user_metadata.roles) {
roles = event.user.user_metadata.roles;
}
console.log(event.user.app_metadata.roles);
console.log(event.user.user_metadata.roles);
console.log(roles);

// Append roles to the ID and/or Access Token
api.idToken.setCustomClaim(namespace + ‘roles’, roles);
api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(namespace + ‘roles’, roles);
};

But I can’t find where to enable RBAC- ChatGPT says it is under the API somewhere, but I can’t find it anywhere, and the user metadata is empty.

Hi @JessicaMulein,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

You can enable this setting by going to your Auth0 Dashboard > Applications > API > Your API and scrolling to the RBAC Settings section to switch on the Enable RBAC toggle.

Thanks,
Rueben

Thank you. My problem was the default API doesn’t have this option but once I created a new one it was available.
