Changes

This is a documentation-only change adding usage guidance for Experiment Center, Auth0's A/B testing platform for authentication flows, ahead of its Early Access release.

Experiment Center already works with this SDK today — Auth0 honors experiment_id, variation_id, and segment_id as /authorize query parameters, and the existing WebAuthProvider.Builder.withParameters(Map<String, Any?>) method already forwards arbitrary parameters to /authorize. This PR documents how developers pass these three parameters to force a specific experiment variation on a Web Auth login request, bypassing the server-side deterministic assignment (useful for QA/test automation and for driving assignment from a flag/rollout tool).

  • Endpoints: none added/changed
  • Classes and methods: none added, deleted, deprecated, or changed — no source code changes
  • Docs added:
    • New examples/experiment-center.md — shows forcing a variation via withParameters() with experiment_id + variation_id, and optionally segment_id for segment-targeted experiments. Includes Kotlin (callback), Kotlin (coroutine), and Java samples, plus a note that this is an Enterprise feature and only applies to WebAuthProvider (Universal Login) flows — embedded/native and ROPG do not reach /authorize and are unaffected.
    • Updated EXAMPLES.md — added a link to the new example under the Web Auth section.

Testing

No functional code changed, so there is nothing to unit- or integration-test. The change touches only Markdown files. Reviewers should:

  • Verify examples/experiment-center.md renders correctly and the code samples are accurate against the current withParameters() API.

  • Verify the new link in EXAMPLES.md resolves to the new file.

  • This change adds unit test coverage

  • This change adds integration test coverage

  • This change has been tested on the latest version of the platform/language or why not

N/A — documentation-only change with no source modifications; existing tests are unaffected.

Checklist

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added an Android SDK example showing how to select an Experiment Center variation during Web Auth login, with optional segment targeting.
    • Clarified that SDK support is in Early Access and access can be requested from an Auth0 representative.
    • Noted that experiment overrides apply only to the current login request; later logins use server-side assignment unless parameters are provided again.
    • Clarified that overrides are not supported for embedded/native login or ROPG.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Experiment Center usage documentation with Kotlin, coroutine, and Java examples. It documents login override parameters, access information, request scope, and supported login flows. The README and Web Auth examples index link to the documentation.

Changes

Experiment Center documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document Experiment Center overrides
examples/experiment-center.md, README.md, EXAMPLES.md
The documentation describes required experiment_id and variation_id parameters, optional segment_id, and Kotlin, coroutine, and Java usage with WebAuthProvider.login(). It states that SDK support is in Early Access, notes request scope and unsupported login flows, and links the example from the README and Web Auth section.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aae99

This documentation change adds examples that match the SDK API and directs customers to request access. The production applicability of SDK overrides remains unclear in the available sources, but the guide does not promise production use, so no specific issue currently blocks merging.

nit: we can have map with all the 3 params but describe clearly what each attribute corresponds to with a link to auth0 docs for experiment centre. experimentcenter.md can be reduced further. Describe what each param is and have one example with all the three passed.

Comment thread examples/experiment-center.md Outdated

[Experiment Center](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/experiment-center/overview) is Auth0's A/B testing platform for authentication flows. It lets you split traffic across variants, measure results, and promote the winner — all inside Auth0.

Pass `experiment_id` and `variation_id` via `withParameters()` to force a user into a specific variation for the login request, bypassing the server-side deterministic assignment. Both IDs are obtained from your Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API.

should we mention about segment id here When the experiment uses segment targeting, also pass segment_id:

Hi @utkrishtsahu, overall looks good to me, just few corrections -

  1. Status label: README.md and examples/experiment-center.md

Both files say "Experiment Center is currently in Beta", it should be Early Access (EA), not Beta.

  1. "Runs only on development tenants": README.md and examples/experiment-center.md

This seems to be incorrect. Experiment Center is an Enterprise feature available on production tenants to customers with the enterprise entitlement (or the experiment_center_beta feature flag during EA). There is no development-tenant-only restriction.

@cschetan77
Status label: Changed "Beta" → Early Access (EA) in both README.md and examples/experiment-center.md. The note now reads: "Experiment Center support via SDKs is currently in Early Access. To request access to this feature, contact your Auth0 representative."

Development-tenant claim: Removed entirely — you're right, there's no dev-tenant-only restriction. The note now frames it as an Enterprise feature in Early Access and points users to their Auth0 representative to get access enabled, with no tenant-environment claim.
