SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Security reviewers and developers need a structured, reusable set of patterns to confirm that Convex apps enforce proper authorization, data isolation, and protection for sensitive operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authorization logic audits ensuring role checks and permission enforcement.
  • Data access boundaries audits ensuring users see only allowed data.
  • Action isolation audits guarding external API calls and internal vs. external boundaries.
  • Rate limiting audits to prevent abuse and service degradation.
  • Sensitive operations protections including confirmations and auditable flows.
  • Use Case: a multi-tenant Convex app ensuring admins can perform privileged actions only after proper verification.

Quick Start

Apply these audit patterns to your Convex project to validate authorization, data access boundaries, rate limiting, and protection of sensitive operations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit authorization and data access controls in a Convex app?

Audit Convex authorization by validating role checks, permission enforcement, and data access boundaries to ensure users only see allowed data. Apply structured patterns to confirm queries and mutations enforce data isolation properly.

What are the best practices for rate limiting and securing external API calls in Convex?

Best practices for rate limiting in Convex include auditing external API call boundaries and implementing guardrails to prevent abuse. Action isolation patterns protect service degradation by separating internal vs external operation boundaries.

How does RBAC work for multi-tenant Convex applications?

RBAC in multi-tenant Convex apps works by enforcing role checks and permission policies before privileged actions. Admins must pass proper verification, ensuring data isolation and auditable flows for sensitive operations across tenants.

Do I need server code guardrails for sensitive Convex operations?

Yes, you need server code guardrails in Convex to protect sensitive operations with confirmations and auditable flows. Policy checks codified in mutations and internal actions prevent unauthorized execution of privileged tasks.

Can I implement data isolation patterns directly in Convex queries and mutations?

Yes, you can implement data isolation patterns directly in Convex queries and mutations. The audit defines policy checks and guardrails codified in server code to enforce strict data access boundaries for multi-user applications.
