So I want to add the user roles in the id and access token. Searched the forum, and found threads like this: [image] How do I get role claims added to my access token? Help Thanks for following up on this! Problem is, it shows you how to add the role names (which you…

Hi @andreaslasrssen , Welcome to the Auth0 Community! AFAIK, role IDs aren’t available in actions. You could use a key value pair to add them to the action manually, but that is a bit of a workaround and would require updating. Can you expand on the use case of having the ID in the token?

Hi @dan.woda . The reason I want the ID in the token, is because it’s (seemingly) what’s identifying the role. The name can change. I can’t build privileges based on something that can change. If it’s at all possible to do this as a workaround, would you care to show me how?

The name should only change if you (or another admin) change it. For the sake of argument; an admin could just as easily delete the role, the ID would be lost, and it would have the same effect as changing the name, although it would be unrecoverable.

In addition, you can create a Feature Request for this.

I understand that the name won’t change if you don’t change it, but there’s no indication in the GUI that changing the name will break the app. On the contrary, as you’re able to change the name, it’s presented as a harmless action. Which won’t be true when using the name as an identifier. So, I di…

Thanks for the additional context. I’ll post a link to the feature request when it comes in.
