Convex Authentication Setup

Implement secure authentication in Convex with user management and access control.

When to Use

• Setting up authentication for the first time
• Implementing user management (users table, identity mapping)
• Creating authentication helper functions
• Setting up OAuth providers (WorkOS, Auth0, etc.)

Architecture Overview

Convex authentication has two main parts:

1. Client Authentication: Use a provider (WorkOS, Auth0, custom JWT)
2. Backend Identity: Map auth provider identity to your users table
