How to block user with immediate effect in auth0?

To block a user with immediate effect in Auth0, you can use the Management API to update the user's blocked status. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Obtain an access token to make calls to the Management API. You can do this by following the steps outlined in the Auth0 documentation for obtaining Management API access tokens.
2. Make a PATCH request to the Management API with the user's ID to update their blocked status. You can use a tool like cURL or Postman to make the API call. Here is an example cURL command:

1

curl --request PATCH   --url 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/v2/users/{USER_ID}'   --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'   --header 'content-type: application/json'   --data '{"blocked": true}'

Replace YOUR_DOMAIN, USER_ID, and YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with your Auth0 account domain, the ID of the user you want to block, and the access token you obtained in step 1, respectively.

1. Once you make the API call, the user's blocked status will be updated immediately, effectively blocking them from accessing your application.

Please note that blocking a user in Auth0 will prevent them from logging in, but they can still be unblocked by an administrator if needed.
