Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

I am working to refresh a user's authorization scope after an invitation code is redeemed. Currently, I have to send prompt:consent to allow for the scope that was added on redeeming the invitation code. I haven't been able to find a way to refresh the token using useAuth0 and do not see the getTokenSilently method being available, either.

Describe the ideal solution

I'd be able to refresh a user's scope without the user even noticing that something is happening.

Alternatives and current workarounds

I am using prompt:consent and am about to use the Auth0 class directly to refresh my token.

@shawna-donnelly getCredentials method has a scope parameter - Link. You can add the required scopes to this method and you can get back an access token with these scopes.
