Auth0 is an authentication and authorization service for your applications which uses Oauth2.0 protocol. To begin with the Auth0 integration in Apps Creator, you will need an account with Auth0. Learn more about Auth0 here.
Before, we can setup the integration in Apps Creator, we will set up an application in Auth0 dashboard.
