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

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c30b8

This change adds Experiment Center login-override guidance, but it can lead production-tenant users toward an unsupported Beta flow and leaves the primary integration documentation incomplete. Add the tenant limitation and matching README coverage before merging.

💡 Result:

In the context of the Auth0 Experiment Center, the service operates exclusively on development tenants during its Beta phase [1]. Production tenants are not supported for use with the Experiment Center while the feature is in Beta [1]. Additionally, during this Beta period, each tenant is limited to having no more than one experiment active at any given time [1].

Citations:


Document the development-tenant limitation.

During Beta, Experiment Center runs only on development tenants. Production tenants are not supported. Add this limitation to prevent production users from following an unsupported flow.

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.


[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:
