+
+You may want to use your own Auth0 app when running hive locally.
+
+1. Create your own Auth0 application
+   1. If you haven't already, create an account on [manage.auth0.com](https://manage.auth0.com)
+   2. Create a new application with the following settings:
+      1. Type: `Regular Web Application`
+      2. Allowed Callback URLs: `http://localhost:3000/api/callback`
+      3. Allowed Logout URLs: `http://localhost:3000/`
+   3. Create two Auth0 users
+      1. This can be done from the "User Management" page
+         - [`https://manage.auth0.com/dashboard/<REGION>/<DOMAIN>/users`](https://manage.auth0.com/dashboard/us/dev-azj17nyp/users)
+   4. Create a new "Rule" in your Auth0 Account
+      1. This can be done from the "Auth Pipeline -> Rules" section on the left navigation bar.
+         - [`https://manage.auth0.com/dashboard/<REGION>/<DOMAIN>/rules`](https://manage.auth0.com/dashboard/us/dev-azj17nyp/rules)
+      2. Enter the following code:
+         ```javascript
+         function (user, context, callback) {
+           var namespace = 'https://graphql-hive.com';
+           context.accessToken[namespace + '/metadata'] = user.user_metadata;
+           context.idToken[namespace + '/metadata'] = user.user_metadata;
+           context.accessToken[namespace + '/userinfo'] = {
+             user_id: user.user_id,
+             email: user.email,
+             username: user.username,
+             nickname: user.nickname
+           };
+           return callback(null, user, context);
+         }
+         ```
+2. Update the `.env` secrets used by your local hive instance:
+   - The `AUTH0_DOMAIN`, `AUTH0_CLIENT_ID`, and `AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET` values
+     are found when viewing your new application on Auth0.
+
+```bash
+# packages/services/server/.env
+
+# Can be any value
+AUTH0_SECRET=super-secret-value
+
+AUTH0_DOMAIN=
+AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=
+AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=
+AUTH0_SCOPE="openid profile offline_access"
+AUTH0_AUDIENCE=https://${AUTH0_DOMAIN}/api/v2/
+AUTH0_CONNECTION=Username-Password-Authentication
+```
+
+```bash
+# packages/web/app/.env
+
+# Must be the same value as in 'packages/services/server/.env'
+AUTH0_SECRET=super-secret-value
+
+AUTH0_DOMAIN=
+AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=
+AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=
+AUTH0_SCOPE="openid profile offline_access"
+AUTH0_AUDIENCE=https://${AUTH0_DOMAIN}/api/v2/
+AUTH0_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
+AUTH0_ISSUER_BASE_URL=https://${AUTH0_DOMAIN}
+```
+
+3. Click on Start Hive in the bottom bar of VSCode
+4. Open the UI (`http://localhost:3000` by default) and Sign in with one of the users you created on the Auth0 management console
