We are pleased to announce that API Access Policies for Applications is now Generally Available (GA) for all Auth0 customers. This feature allows you to specifically control which applications can request access tokens for your APIs, covering both user and machine-to-machine access.

Previously available only via the Management API, these policies can now be fully configured directly within the Auth0 Dashboard. The new UI allows you to easily visualize and manage permissions per API, ensuring that only authorized applications can access sensitive resources.

Key Benefits:

  • Granular Control: Define distinct access policies for user access vs. machine-to-machine access.
  • Enhanced Security: Use the require_client_grant policy to ensure only explicitly authorized applications can obtain tokens for the subset of allowed permissions.
  • Simplified Management: Configure these settings visually through the new Dashboard UI.

To learn more, navigate to Applications > APIs > Application Access in the dashboard or read our reference docs.
