## Caveats ## Caveats
Many OpenID Connect providers implement different restrictions on refresh tokens. For example, Google will only issue the first login attempt a refresh token, then not return one after. Because of this, this connector does not refresh the id_token claims when a client of dex redeems a refresh token, which can result in stale user info. This connector does not support the "groups" claim. Progress for this is tracked in [issue #1065][issue-1065].
It's generally recommended to avoid using refresh tokens with the `oidc` connector. When using refresh tokens, changes to the upstream claims aren't propegated to the id_token returned by dex. If a user's email changes, the "email" claim returned by dex won't change unless the user logs in again. Progress for this is tracked in [issue #863][issue-863].
Progress on this caveat can be tracked in [issue #863][google-refreshing].
