FAQPage Schema

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

To set up Convex authentication, you install auth libraries, configure convex/auth.config.ts, wire your chosen provider to the client and backend, and enforce access control across backend functions.

Can I use Clerk or Auth0 for identity mapping with Convex?▼

Yes, you can use Clerk, Auth0, WorkOS AuthKit, or Convex Auth for identity mapping. The setup guides you through wiring the provider, mapping user identities, and managing user records across local and production deployments.

How does access control work across Convex backend functions?▼

Access control in Convex backend functions is enforced by mapping user identities and managing authorization rules. Once your auth provider is wired, the setup helps you apply these access controls directly within your backend queries and mutations.

What's the best way to configure Convex Auth for local and production deployments?▼

The best way to configure Convex Auth for local and production deployments is by following guided steps to initialize your chosen provider, validate the configuration, and wire the client and server auth environments correctly.

Do I need to manually manage user records when adding authentication to Convex?▼

You need to manage user records when adding authentication to Convex, but the setup process reduces integration guesswork by guiding you through identity mapping and user record management alongside your chosen auth provider.
