Auth0 CLI

Auth0 CLI is the official command line client for configuring and testing Auth0 tenants. It covers core identity admin work such as applications, APIs, users, organizations, actions, branding, logs, and direct Management API calls.

• Create, update, list, and delete tenant resources such as applications, APIs, users, organizations, roles, custom domains, attack-protection settings, log streams, and event streams.
• Test Universal Login and token issuance, inspect branding or prompt settings, tail tenant logs, and troubleshoot identity flows without living in the dashboard.
• Script deeper admin work with auth0 api requests and export existing tenant resources into Terraform configuration with auth0 terraform generate.

• Many list, show, create, update, and test commands expose --json or --json-compact, and auth0 api always returns JSON, so follow-up parsing is straightforward.
• Automation fit is good once auth is configured: the CLI has --no-input, supports machine login with client credentials or private-key JWT, and covers inspect-change-verify loops across tenant resources.
• The surface is mixed rather than fully headless because some commands intentionally open a browser, dashboard page, or local editor for login, testing, or customization work.

• Useful operation requires an Auth0 tenant plus valid credentials; user login uses device and browser flow, while unattended use depends on machine credentials and requested scopes.
• auth0 universal-login customize mixes browser and editor workflows, and its advanced mode is marked deprecated in favor of auth0 acul config.
