convex-setup-auth

You can configure Convex authentication by selecting a provider like Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, custom JWT, or Convex Auth. The setup provides step-by-step guidance for wiring provider authentication, mapping user identity, and applying access control guardrails.

Identity mapping connects authenticated provider users to internal Convex identities. It secures backend operations by linking external authentication tokens to user management records within your Convex database for access control validation.

Yes, custom JWT is supported as a provider-agnostic authentication flow. The setup applies provider wiring and auth config generation to map your custom token identity into Convex for backend access control.

You secure Convex backend operations by applying access control guardrails during auth initialization. The setup generates auth config and implements identity mapping to restrict data access based on authenticated user roles.

Yes, Convex authentication setup guides you from initial first-time setup to production-ready deployment. It covers provider wiring, auth config generation, and access control guardrails required for production environments.

Auth config generation is needed to formalize provider wiring and establish identity mapping rules in Convex. It creates the documented configuration required to validate tokens and enforce access control guardrails for backend security.
