Authenticating to Your Tenant

Authenticating to your Auth0 tenant is required for most functions of the CLI. It can be initiated by running:

auth0 login

There are two ways to authenticate:

  • As a user - Recommended when invoking on a personal machine or other interactive environment. Facilitated by device authorization flow.
  • As a machine - Recommended when running on a server or non-interactive environments (ex: CI). Facilitated by client credentials flow. Flags available for bypassing interactive shell.

Authenticating as a user is not supported for private cloud tenants. Instead, those users should authenticate with client credentials.
