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

To set up Convex authentication, select and configure an auth provider like Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or custom JWT providers, then implement user management and protected backend functions.

What is the best way to configure access control and roles in Convex?▼

Configuring access control in Convex involves implementing roles and permissions within your backend functions to ensure only authorized users can access protected resources.

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

Yes, Convex supports integrating with external auth providers like Clerk and Auth0, allowing you to map user identities and manage sign-ups and logins securely.

How does identity mapping work when using custom JWT providers with Convex?▼

Identity mapping with custom JWT providers requires configuring your Convex application to decode the tokens and map the provided identities to your users table for secure access control.

Do I need to understand Convex architecture to implement auth and access control?▼

Yes, setting up Convex authentication requires a solid understanding of Convex architecture and auth providers to correctly configure user tables, identity mapping, and protected functions.

Why are my protected Convex backend functions still accessible without authentication?▼

Protected Convex functions remain accessible without authentication if access control and roles are not properly implemented within the backend functions to restrict unauthorized resource access.
