Auth0 Login / Admin Account

I installed NetBird self hosted server (latest version from Github) on to both Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 DigitalOcean droplets. Followed the advanced self hosting documentation to the letter, and for the life of me, can't get authentication to work. When accessing Netbird from the public URL, I get redirected to Auth0 correctly, and if I create a user, the user gets authenticated, but I only have access to the /peers page. I get the following errors upon login:

Request failed with status code 500 (internal server error)
Request failed with status code 401 (invalid token)

I can logout without error.

I have a couple of questions: 1) What could be causing the above errors? 2) With Auth0, there is no "admin" user configured during the Netbird install / initialization / first run.

I am sure I am missing something with regards to #2, but documentation has no information regarding adding an admin user or associating admin roles to any other user. I thought there might be a script to kick off a onboarding / admin configuration but, so far I am stumped.

Any help would be appreciated. Happy to provide admin access to the server if needed. This is just a testbed for now.

Configuration files are below. This is currently running on a fresh Debian 12 install on DigitalOcean. 1 core 2GB ram,

Thanks in advance. Rob.

My Auth0 "setup.env" config is below:
