FAQPage Schema
How do I set up authentication and access control in my Convex backend?▼

Protecting Convex queries and mutations requires adding user identity checks to your backend functions. This Skill configures access control rules that validate user identities before executing backend logic, ensuring unauthorized requests are rejected.

Can I integrate Clerk or Auth0 with my Convex application for user management?▼

Yes, Convex supports integration with Clerk, Auth0, WorkOS AuthKit, Convex Auth, and custom JWT providers. The setup maps user identities from these external providers to secure your backend application's queries and mutations.

What is the best way to implement role-based access control for a Convex app?▼

Implementing role-based access control in Convex requires defining access rules that check mapped user identities within your backend functions. This restricts premium features and sensitive data based on the authenticated user's assigned role.

Does Convex Auth support custom JWT providers for secure login?▼

Yes, Convex authentication supports custom JWT providers for secure login. You can map custom user identities from your existing token system and apply access control rules to protect your backend queries and mutations.

How do I restrict access to premium features in a Convex backend?▼

To restrict access to premium features in a Convex backend, you implement role-based access control via protected mutations and queries. The system validates the authenticated user's identity and assigned role before executing the requested backend logic.
