Update scope based on user selection of features

[gaur_ab]

I use Auth0 to connect users to their GitHub accounts via social login. We start with minimal scope (email only), but based on gradual feature availability, we need to add scope (repo, etc.) to individual users based on selections done within the application.
How do I do this programmatically? It can’t be that uncommon a need?!?

Hi @gaur_ab

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

If I understand your question correctly, you would like to dynamically change the scope of user permissions for social connection between Auth0 and Github per user individually. Unfortunately, this is not possible, as you can select permissions only per social connection, not per user. Each social connection has settings that you can choose to select more permissions.

Thanks for the information Dawid! I will see what can be done about this - I know of at least another popular platform that uses Auth0 and requests additional permissions from users after initial login. There must be a way to achieve this.
