What is Auth0?

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

What is Pressable?

Ten days of bulk operations, then the AI assistant got the keys to multi-site access control.

Pressable is shipping into MyPressable at a pace of roughly one feature every two days, and the run is unusually coherent: bulk plugin install and activation, bulk theme install and delete, bulk site deletion with multi-layer confirmation gates, DDEV setup managed from the panel, and two separate additions to the AI assistant's collaborator management capabilities. Note that the feed publishes title-only excerpts with no body text, so the titles are the entire record.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.

◆ Prediction

The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.

Ten days of bulk operations, then the AI assistant got the keys to multi-site access control.

◆ Current state

Pressable is shipping into MyPressable at a pace of roughly one feature every two days, and the run is unusually coherent: bulk plugin install and activation, bulk theme install and delete, bulk site deletion with multi-layer confirmation gates, DDEV setup managed from the panel, and two separate additions to the AI assistant's collaborator management capabilities. Note that the feed publishes title-only excerpts with no body text, so the titles are the entire record.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is being rebuilt around fleet management rather than single-site administration. Every bulk operation added in this window assumes the customer runs many sites and does the same thing to all of them, and the confirmation gates on bulk deletion show the team is aware of what that leverage cuts both ways. Running alongside it, the AI assistant has moved in two weeks from collaborator management tools to multi-site collaborator management — from advising to acting across the fleet.

◆ Prediction

Expect the assistant's reach to keep extending across the bulk operations already built, since the panel now has fleet-wide primitives for plugins, themes and sites that an assistant could invoke the same way it now invokes collaborator management.
