For example, you can automate the onboarding of B2B customers using Organizations APIs or establish security perimeters by creating Tenant Access Control rules to block malicious IPs at the edge.; ; Making Changes; Users can manage configurations dynamically without the visual dashboard. This includes configuring multiple custom domains or updating permissions and collaboration features in real-time via the Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) API. Additionally, Actions allow you to inject custom Node.js code directly into the authentication pipeline to modify behavior.; ; Limitations; Rate Limits: The Public Cloud tier is capped at 100 RPS (Requests Per Second) for standard authentication. Handling massive traffic spikes requires upgrading to the Private Cloud, which supports up to 10,000 RPS.; Complexity: Extensive API usage requires developer expertise. Non-technical teams may need to rely on ""No-code"" visual editors like Forms instead."

• Description of customisation: "Based on the Money Slides and Pitchbook, here is a consolidated overview of Auth0 customization:; ; What Can Be Customized; You can tailor the entire identity lifecycle, from the visual Universal Login experience (logos, fonts, custom domains) to complex backend logic. This includes modifying authentication pipelines, defining Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) models, and configuring security behaviors like Adaptive MFA triggers and Tenant Access Control rules.; ; How to Customize; Auth0 provides a ""No-code to Pro-code"" spectrum:; No-Code:Use the visual Forms editor to drag-and-drop sign-up flows or the Dashboard to configure standard security policies.; Pro-Code: Use Actions to inject serverless Node.js code directly into specific identity triggers (e.g., Post-Login, Pre-User Registration). You can also utilize Management APIs and SDKs for infrastructure-as-code implementations.; ; Who Can Customize; Developers: Execute deep integrations using Actions, APIs, and SDKs.; UX Designers:Craft pixel-perfect login experiences using Advanced Customization for Universal Login.; Security Administrators: Manage threat protection policies and session timeouts.; B2B Customers: Self-manage their own SSO connections and branding via Organizations."

They are applied to the next invoice or any outstanding fees."
• Approach to resilience: Auth0 has a multi data center failover approach using at least one additional availability zone in an alternate geographic location, and multiple regions where available. The main data store is continuously replicated to secondary data center(s), while other less critical data stores are replicated periodically. Replication lag, Recovery Point Objective, and Recovery Time Objective are designed to meet Auth0's Service Level description. Auth0 services are load balanced across active data centers within the deployment region(s). Services are designed to continue to operate in the event of a data center outage. Scaling is implemented and maintained on critical layers such that resources and capacity can be added as needed. Additionally, in many cases, services are designed to degrade gracefully if a dependent service fails. Auth0 reserves the right to alter and supplement all HA and DR strategies with the intention of maintaining existing recovery objectives.
• Outage reporting: The service is designed to be highly available with zero down time. When outages are experienced, customer are notified and updated via email and through help desk announcements until the service is back up and running.
