Deprecations and Migrations

We are actively migrating customers to new behaviors for all deprecations listed below. Please review these carefully to ensure you've taken any necessary steps to avoid service disruption. You can also search tenant logs for any errors caused by using deprecated features. To learn more, read Search Logs for Deprecation Errors.

If you have any questions, visit the Community or create a ticket in our Support Center. To learn more, you can also read Migration Process.

Protected Properties in Non-Custom Social Connections

Deprecated: July 30, 2024

End of life: January 31, 2025

Management API endpoints for connections (GET, POST, and PATCH) will no longer allow retrieving or setting values for the following protected properties in the context of the options object for non-custom social connections:

  • authorizationURL

  • tokenURL

  • userInfoUrl

  • baseUrl

  • userAuthorizationURL

  • grant_type

Non-custom social connections refer to any social connection whose implementation logic is controlled entirely within the Auth0 service itself. This category excludes any connections explicitly created as custom social connectors or those available as Marketplace integrations that rely on custom social connection functionality.  

Always Use HTTPS for Communication with Auth0

Deprecated: September 4, 2024

End of life: October 4, 2024

Starting October 4, 2024, Auth0 will no longer automatically redirect API requests using unencrypted HTTP to secure HTTPS and will respond with an error. To avoid any disruption in service, update any HTTP URLs you use or publish to use HTTPS instead.

Management API Transition: Updating Roles Assignment to Require Create Scope

Deprecated: March 7, 2024

End of life: September 10, 2024

Auth0 is updating the Management API scopes for the User-Roles endpoint (POST /api/v2/users/{id}/roles) to represent their intended permissions. Currently, roles can be assigned to users with read:roles scope via the Management API. This capability is being deprecated, and role updates will require the create:role_members scope.

Update Applications that use Cross-Origin Authentication

Deprecated: April 25, 2024

End of life: October 10, 2024

New applications created in Auth0 will have cross-origin authentication disabled by default. Calls to some Management API endpoints (Get Clients, Get Client by ID) will need to be modified to use cross_origin_authentication.

Rules and Hooks Deprecations

Deprecated: May 16, 2023

Read-only transition: November 18, 2024

End-of-life: TBA

On November 18, 2024, active Rules and Hooks will continue to execute, but will degrade to read-only mode. Auth0 has delayed the removal of Rules and Hooks functionality to a future date.

Read-only Rules and Hooks can be turned on and off and their respective configuration values or secrets can be modified, but their source code cannot be edited via the Dashboard or Management API, including CI/CD tooling like Terraform and Auth0 Deploy CLI.

If you will be unable to migrate to Actions ahead of the read-only transition, ensure that any automated CI/CD flow you have configured to deploy tenant configuration changes does not attempt to perform unsupported management operations on Rules and Hooks.

For more information, read Migrate from Rules to Actions and Migrate from Hooks to Actions.

Deprecate opt-in to WCAG 2.2 AA Compliant UI for Universal Login

Deprecated: August 23, 2024

End of Life: July 31st, 2025

On February 23rd, 2025, Auth0 will remove the ability to use the legacy, non-compliant UI for Universal Login. The new WCAG compliant version ensures that end users, including those who rely on assistive technology, can access and engage with a customer’s product or service. Read our Universal Login Accessibility documentation for more information.
