Use the Management API

The Auth0 PHP SDK provides a Auth0\SDK\API\Management class, which houses the methods you can use to access the Management API and perform operations on your Auth0 tenant. Using this interface, you can easily:

Search for and create users
Create and update Applications
Retrieve log entries
Manage rules

… and much more. See our API reference for information on what’s possible! Authentication To use the , you must authenticate one of two ways:

For temporary access or testing, you can manually generate an API token and save it in your .env file.
For extended access, you must create and execute and Client Credentials grant when access is required. This process is detailed on the Authentication API page.

Regardless of the method, the token generated must have the scopes required for the operations your app wants to execute. Consult the API documentation for the scopes required for the specific endpoint you’re trying to access. To grant the scopes needed:

Go to APIs > Auth0 Management API > Machine to Machine Applications tab.
Find your Application and authorize it.
Click the arrow to expand the row and select the scopes required.

Now you can authenticate one of the two ways above and use that token to perform operations:

$management = new \Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Wrapper\ManagementClient(
    new \Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Wrapper\ManagementClientOptions(
        domain: $env['AUTH0_DOMAIN'],
        clientId: $env['AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'],
        clientSecret: $env['AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET'],
    ),
);

The ManagementClient exposes endpoints as properties (for example, $management->users and $management->clients). Results are returned as typed objects — you retrieve values by calling named methods (such as getEmail() or getName()) rather than unpacking a raw array.

Example - Search Users by Email

This endpoint is documented here.

$users = $management->users->list(
    new \Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Users\Requests\ListUsersRequestParameters([
        'q'             => 'email:j*',
        'perPage'       => 5,
        'includeTotals' => true,
    ]),
);

foreach ($users as $user) {
    printf("%s <%s> - %s\n", $user->getNickname() ?? 'No nickname', $user->getEmail() ?? 'No email', $user->getUserId());
}

Example - Get All Clients

This endpoint is documented here.

$clients = $management->clients->list(
    new \Auth0\SDK\API\Management\Clients\Requests\ListClientsRequestParameters([
        'perPage'       => 5,
        'includeTotals' => true,
    ]),
);

foreach ($clients as $client) {
    printf("%s - %s\n", $client->getName(), $client->getClientId());
}
