Auth0 Consent Dialog – “Allow offline access” appears when using Pritunl Zero

Hello!

When I use Auth0 as the authentication provider for Pritunl Zero, users see an additional consent dialog after logging in.
The dialog asks them to grant access to their profile and offline access.

This seems to happen because the Pritunl Auth0 integration requests the offline_access scope, which triggers the “Allow offline access” permission in Auth0.

Why is this additional access required, and is there a way to disable the offline_access request so users don’t have to approve this consent dialog every time?

Offline access allows the server to trigger a authentication update request which is done every 30 minutes. This makes sure the user is still active on the single sign-on provider. If the user were disabled the Pritunl Zero session would end within 30 minutes even if the session length was longer.
