Use linkedIn social connection With basic profile ON

I am using Auth0 to sign up my users to my SaaS.

I am trying to get access to user’s experiences using LinkedIn SSO,

The sign up with LinkedIn works like a charm, but the problem is, when I click the “Basic Profile” option, I ends up with

{ “error”: “access_denied”, “error_description”: “Scope ‘r_basicprofile’ is not authorized for your application” }

As you can see, it needs LinkedIn approval. Therefore, I tried to add r_basicprofile in my LinkedIn Developers account, I added the product “Sign In with LinkedIn”, “Share on LinkedIn” but it did not added me the magical r_basicprofile authorization.

Am I the only one trying to do that? Any helps – or links to LinkedIn’s up-to-date documentation would be helpful!
