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 auth providers (Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, custom JWT)

First Step: Choose the Auth Provider

Do not assume a provider. Before writing setup code:

1. Ask the user which auth solution they want, unless the repository already makes it obvious
2. If the repo already uses a provider, continue with that provider unless the user wants to switch
3. If the user has not chosen and the repo does not make it obvious, ask before proceeding
