FAQPage Schema
How do I set up authentication in a Convex application?▼

Setting up Convex authentication involves selecting a provider like Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or a custom JWT source, then wiring frontend and backend identity verification to protect queries and mutations.

Can I use Clerk with Convex for user authentication and access control?▼

Yes, Clerk integrates with Convex by configuring provider-specific backend and frontend wiring, mapping authenticated identities to user data, and applying access control checks to protect queries and mutations.

How do I protect Convex queries and mutations with authenticated identities?▼

You protect Convex queries and mutations by validating authenticated sessions, applying authorization checks, and using user mapping patterns to ensure only verified identities execute protected functions.

Does Convex Auth support custom JWT providers for access control?▼

Yes, Convex authentication supports custom JWT providers by configuring environment setup and auth wiring, validating authenticated sessions, and integrating user data for access control.

What is the best way to add login and signup capabilities to a Convex app?▼

The best way to add login and signup to a Convex app is configuring an authentication provider, wiring identity verification checks, and setting up access controls so backend functions recognize authenticated sessions.

Why are my authenticated Convex sessions not recognized by backend functions?▼

Authenticated Convex sessions fail when provider-specific configuration, auth wiring, or environment setup is incomplete, preventing backend functions from validating identities and enforcing access control checks.
