SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Convex authentication setup and access control often requires coordinating provider choice, user identity mapping, and secure backend guards. This skill helps automate that wiring across Convex apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified provider-agnostic auth setup: choose Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or custom JWTs and wire them into convex/auth.config.ts.
  • End-to-end identity mapping and access control: create or map user identities, protect queries/mutations with ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(), and implement role-based access as needed.
  • Guided setup for new and existing projects: supports local development and production-ready deployment, with references for provider-specific wiring.

Quick Start

Configure authentication for your Convex app by selecting a provider and wiring identity and access controls.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-setup-auth

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

Convex authentication setup involves selecting an auth provider and wiring it into the convex/auth.config.ts file to manage user identity mapping and secure backend access controls across your application.

Can I use Clerk or Auth0 for identity mapping in Convex?▼

Yes, Convex auth supports provider-agnostic integration with Clerk, Auth0, WorkOS AuthKit, Convex Auth, or custom JWT providers to map user identities and secure backend queries and mutations.

How do I protect Convex queries and mutations with role-based access control?▼

Protect Convex queries and mutations by implementing backend guards using ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() to validate user identities and enforce role-based authorization rules within your functions.

What is the best way to configure custom JWT providers with Convex Auth?▼

Configuring custom JWT providers with Convex Auth requires updating the convex/auth.config.ts file to recognize your tokens, ensuring proper identity mapping, and applying backend access protections for secure authentication.

Does Convex authentication setup work for existing projects or only new apps?▼

Convex authentication setup supports both new apps and existing Convex projects, providing guided configuration for wiring login, signup, and role-based authorization across frontend and backend environments.
