I defined a hosted page that has this lock definition :

> var lock = new Auth0LockPasswordless(config.clientID, config.auth0Domain, {  
> auth: {  
> redirectUrl: config.callbackURL,  
> responseType: “token id\_token”,  
> params: config.internalOptions,  
> audience: ‘[应用宝官网-全网最新最热手机应用游戏下载](http://myapp.com/crud)’,  
> params: {  
> scope: ‘openid email profile picture app\_metadata user\_metadata’  
> },
> 
> ```
> },
> assetsUrl: config.assetsUrl,
> allowedConnections: ['email'],
> rememberLastLogin: !prompt,
> language: language,
> languageDictionary: languageDictionary,
> theme: {
> //logo: 'YOUR LOGO HERE',
> //primaryColor: 'green'
> },
> closable: false,
> // uncomment if you want small buttons for social providers
> // socialButtonStyle: 'small'
> });
> 
> lock.show();
> 
> ```

I tried to define a rule and use a app\_metadata but it is empty though it is defined

> function (user, context, callback) {  
> const namespace = ‘[https://myapp.com/](https://myapp.com/)’;  
> console.log("app\_metadata: " +user.app\_metadata);  
> console.log("user: " +user);  
> console.log(“finished logging input”);
> 
> var role = ;  
> if(user.app\_metadata.hasOwnProperty(‘role’)){  
> role =user.app\_metadata.role;  
> }
> 
> context.idToken[namespace + ‘roles’] = role;  
> context.idToken[namespace + ‘customUserId’] = user.app\_metadata.customUserId;
> 
> callback(null, user, context);  
> }

User Json:

> {  
> “phone\_number”: “+1508314002”,  
> “phone\_verified”: true,  
> “name”: “+1508314002”,  
> “updated\_at”: “2018-06-20T12:44:12.524Z”,
