Import/Export Tenant Configuration to YAML File

The Deploy CLI tool's YAML option supports the exporting to and importing of an Auth0 tenant configuration using a YAML file.

Import tenant configuration

To import an Auth0 tenant configuration:

  1. Copy config.json.example, making sure to replace the placeholder values with the values specific to your configuration.

    to configure this snippet with your account

    {
    "AUTH0_DOMAIN": "{yourDomain}",
    "AUTH0_CLIENT_ID": "{yourClientId}",
    "AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET": "{yourClientSecret}",
    "AUTH0_KEYWORD_REPLACE_MAPPINGS": {
      "AUTH0_TENANT_NAME": "{yourAccountName}",
      "ENV": "DEV"
    },
    "AUTH0_ALLOW_DELETE": false,
    "AUTH0_EXCLUDED_RULES": [
      "rule-1-name",
      "rule-2-name"
    ],
    "INCLUDED_PROPS": {
      "clients": [ "client_secret" ]
    },
    "EXCLUDED_PROPS": {
      "connections": [ "options.client_secret" ]
    }
  }

    Use the client ID and secret from your newly-created application. If you followed our guide to create the application, the client is named auth0-deploy-cli.

    By default, the tool merges with your current environment variables and overrides the config.json file (which has the same top key). You can use the --no-env option to disable the override via the command line. You can either set the environment variables, or you can place the values in a configuration file anywhere on the file system that is accessible by the Deploy CLI Tool.

  2. Deploy using the following command: 

    a0deploy import --config_file config.json --input_file tenant.yaml

Export tenant configuration

To export your current tenant configuration, run a command that's similar to: 

a0deploy export --config_file config.json --format yaml --output_folder path/to/export

When importing objects into Auth0 tenants, Auth0 generates new IDs. To avoid import failure, identifier fields are stripped from the Auth0 objects on export by default. To override this behavior, use --export_ids or AUTH0_EXPORT_IDENTIFIERS: true.

Limitations

Some of the settings cannot be exported, such as rulesConfigs values. After exporting, you may need to update the values in tenant.yaml if you see schema-related errors during the import process.

To learn more, see Deploy CLI Tool Environment Variables and Keyword Mappings.
