convex-setup-auth

Set up Convex authentication by wiring your client and backend with ConvexAuthProvider, updating convex/auth.config.ts, and configuring your chosen provider like Clerk or Auth0 to manage user identity and access control.

Convex supports Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, and Auth0 for identity mapping. These providers integrate with your app to secure protected functions and enforce role-based access across development and production environments.

Secure backend Convex functions by configuring authentication to map user identities and enforce role-based access. This involves wiring ConvexAuthProvider and updating auth.config.ts to validate user identity before executing protected functions.

Configuring Convex auth covers identity mapping and backend security, but you can make optional app-level user storage decisions. The setup guides you through whether to store additional user data based on your application requirements.

Production deployment for Convex authentication requires configuring environment variables for your chosen provider, ensuring secure client and backend wiring, and validating that role-based access control and identity mapping function correctly in the production environment.
