Overview
This article explains whether it is possible to set a tenant to a “maintenance mode,” which means the tenant will deflect all requests.
Applies To
- Auth0 Tenants
- Maintenance Mode
Solution
Setting a tenant to “maintenance mode” is not supported at this moment.
However, Login and/or Signup requests can be denied using api.access.deny method in Actions.
The client_metadata can be used to flag a specific application is in maintenance: Configure Application Metadata
For example, in a Post Login Action:
if(event.client.metadata.mode === "maintenance") {
api.access.deny("Maintenance Mode")
}
Note: This use case is not officially supported. Please do robust testing / and perform a proof of concept (PoC) before taking this approach. End users can hit the API endpoints or start a password reset process even if a Post Login Action denies the requests. The example code only denies the login request.
