Auth0 allows you to handle multiple audiences by creating different API identifiers for each audience. This way, you can distinguish between different types of clients that are accessing your APIs.


Here are the steps to handle multiple audiences in Auth0:

  1. Create API Identifiers: In the Auth0 dashboard, go to the "APIs" section and click on "Create API". Give your API a name and identifier, and set the "Token Expiration" and "Signing Algorithm" settings. Repeat this step for each audience you want to support.
  2. Update Client Applications: In the Auth0 dashboard, go to the "Applications" section and click on the client application that you want to add the new audience to. Under the "APIs" tab, you can add the API identifier for the audience you want this client to access.
  3. Implement Authorization Rules: You can create authorization rules in Auth0 to control access to your APIs based on the audience. You can use rules to check the audience of the access token and make authorization decisions based on that information.


By following these steps, you can handle multiple audiences in Auth0 and control access to your APIs for different client applications.
