Disable the Attributes Feature of a Database Connection
Sep 24, 2025
Overview
Applies To
- Flexible Identifiers and Attributes
- Database Connection
Solution
At the moment, the Flexible Identifiers and Attributes feature can only be disabled via the Auth0 Management API.
- Use the GET /api/v2/connections/{id}endpoint to retrieve the existing settings of the connection. The connection_id can be retrieved from the tenant dashboard. See Get a connection for more details.
- Save the options object in the connection settings retrieved from the GET /api/v2/connections/{id} endpoint, and remove the options.attributes object from it.
- Use the PATCH /api/v2/connections/{id} endpoint to update the connection with the revised options object. See Update a connection for more details.
NOTE: The options objects in the PATCH request overwrites the existing options, so all the other settings in the options object except the options.attributes must be included in the PATCH request.
- After the PATCH /api/v2/connections/{id} request succeeds, check in the tenant dashboard > Authentication > Database -> select the database connection that the Attributes was disabled > select the Attributes tab > the Activate button is available again which means the feature is not disabled.
