convex-auth

What problem does it solve?

Convex apps often require consistent authentication and authorization to protect data and operations. This Skill provides patterns, integrations, and best practices to implement identity management, provider-based authentication, and internal authorization checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Provider-based authentication: Integrate Clerk, Auth0, WorkOS, or Convex Auth to verify users.
• Role and access control: Enforce per-user or per-role permissions in server functions.
• Use Case: Secure a multi-tenant dashboard by validating the current user identity before data access and restricting sensitive actions.

Quick Start

Set up a Convex project with a chosen provider (Clerk/Auth0/WorkOS) or Convex Auth, wire the provider to issue tokens, and in server functions call ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() to enforce access before proceeding.
