How do I secure authentication and authorization in my Convex backend?

Secure authentication and authorization in your Convex backend by validating user identities and enforcing row-level access control. This checklist provides actionable TypeScript snippets to ensure authenticated sessions manage data access safely.

What is the best way to audit argument validation in Convex functions?

Auditing argument validation in Convex functions requires defining strict schemas for all inputs to prevent invalid data processing. This security checklist offers best practices and TypeScript examples to validate arguments before function execution.

How do I prevent unauthorized function exposure in a Convex application?

Prevent unauthorized function exposure in a Convex application by restricting internal function access and explicitly defining public endpoints. This checklist guides you through securing function exposure with practical code patterns.

Does this security checklist cover environment variable management for Convex deployment?

Yes, this security checklist covers environment variable management for Convex deployment, ensuring sensitive data is handled correctly. It includes best practices for securing environment variables during development and production.

How do I implement row-level access control in Convex?

Implement row-level access control in Convex by verifying user permissions against document ownership before returning query results. This checklist provides code examples demonstrating secure patterns for restricting data access.

What are common security vulnerabilities when deploying Convex applications?

Common security vulnerabilities when deploying Convex applications include improper function exposure, missing argument validation, and unmanaged environment variables. This checklist helps identify and mitigate these risks before production deployment.
