FAQPage Schema

How do I set up user authentication in Convex?▼

Setting up user authentication in Convex requires defining the users table schema, implementing core helper functions for user retrieval and authorization, and configuring mutations for user creation and updates to manage secure access control.

Can I use WorkOS for client-side authentication with Convex?▼

Yes, WorkOS integrates with Convex as a client-side authentication provider to enable seamless identity mapping and session management between the client application and the Convex backend framework.

What is the best way to implement access control in a Convex application?▼

Implementing access control in a Convex application involves using resource ownership patterns, team-based permissions, and core helper functions to enforce owner-only and resource-specific authorization rules for secure data protection.

Does Convex support role-based permissions and user management?▼

Yes, Convex supports role-based permissions and user management through schema definitions for users and roles, combined with mutation patterns for user creation, updates, and comprehensive access control strategies.

How do I map client identity to a Convex backend user?▼

Mapping client identity to a Convex backend user involves using authentication providers like WorkOS or Auth0 for client-side login, then implementing mutations to store and sync the authenticated user identity within the Convex database schema.
