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

To set up authentication in a Convex backend, you need to configure secure auth providers and manage user identity. This involves establishing environment variables, mapping identities to user tables, and applying server-side access control to protect function execution.

Can I use Clerk or Auth0 for user login with Convex?▼

Yes, Convex authentication supports integration with Clerk, Auth0, WorkOS AuthKit, and Convex Auth. These providers enable secure user login flows and identity management directly within your backend application without manual configuration errors.

How do I protect sensitive backend functions from unauthorized access in Convex?▼

Protecting sensitive backend functions requires implementing server-side access control using identity verification. By validating user identities within your queries and mutations, you ensure that only authenticated users can execute protected operations.

What is identity mapping and how does it work with Convex schemas?▼

Identity mapping in Convex connects external auth provider identities to your application's user storage. It automates the creation of user tables and mapping logic within your schema, ensuring consistent identity tracking across various auth services.

Does Convex authentication support role-based access control?▼

Yes, Convex authentication supports role-based access control by applying server-side protection to queries and mutations. You can configure identity verification to restrict function execution based on specific user roles and permissions.
