Update Grant Types

Learn how to update an application’s grant types using the Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API.

You can change your application’s grant types using the Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API.

Use the Dashboard

1. Go to Dashboard > Applications > Applications and select the name of the application to view.

   

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and select Show Advanced Settings.

3. Select Grant Types, and enable or disable the appropriate grants for the application. When finished, select Save Changes. The device code grant type is only available for native apps.

   

Use the Management API

Make a PATCH call to the /Clients/patch_clients_by_id endpoint. Be sure to replace {yourClientId}, {yourManagementApiAccessToken}, and {grantType} placeholder values with your client ID, Management API access token, and desired grant type, respectively.

Value	Description
{yourClientId}	Τhe ID of the application to be updated.
MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN	Access Tokens for the Management API with the scope update:clients.
GRANT_TYPES	The grant types you would like to enable for the specified application.

Troubleshoot

Attempting to use a flow with an application lacking the appropriate grant_types for that flow (or with the field empty) will result in the following error: Grant type `grant_type` not allowed for the client.
