SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Convex apps require robust authentication, identity mapping, and precise access control, which can be difficult to implement consistently across backend and frontend layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Auth setup: scaffold authentication across Convex with multiple provider options (Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or custom JWT).
Identity mapping & user management: map real users to Convex identities and maintain user records as needed.
Access control: implement per-user, role-based, or attribute-based access for protected backend functions and UI.
Use Case: bootstrap a Convex app with secure login and per-user authorization.

Quick Start

Choose an auth provider, then wire Convex backend and frontend for authentication, identity, and authorization.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up authentication in a Convex app?▼

To set up authentication, select a provider like Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or custom JWT, then wire the backend and frontend components for secure login. This scaffolds a production-ready flow across your application.

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

Identity mapping in Convex maps authenticated identities to real users, maintaining user records as needed. It ensures your application tracks and manages user data consistently alongside the selected provider.

Does Convex auth support role-based access control for protected functions?▼

Yes, Convex auth supports role-based access control for protected functions. You can implement per-user, role-based, or attribute-based authorization to restrict access to specific backend functions and UI.

What is the best way to configure access control across frontend and backend layers in Convex?▼

The best way to configure access control is wiring both backend and frontend components together. This ensures protected functions and UI consistently enforce per-user or role-based authorization.

Can I use Clerk or Auth0 for Convex authentication?▼

Yes, you can use Clerk or Auth0 for Convex authentication. The setup supports multiple provider options including Convex Auth, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, Clerk, or a custom JWT implementation.
