Auth Providers

In this document, you’ll learn how the Auth Module handles authentication using providers.

What's an Auth Module Provider?#

An auth module provider handles authenticating customers and users, either using custom logic or by integrating a third-party service.

For example, the EmailPass Auth Module Provider authenticates a user using their email and password, whereas the Google Auth Module Provider authenticates users using their Google account.

Configure Allowed Auth Providers of Actor Types#

By default, users of all actor types can authenticate with all installed auth module providers.

To restrict the auth providers used for actor types, use the authMethodsPerActor option in Medusa's configurations:

medusa-config.ts
1module.exports = defineConfig({2  projectConfig: {3    http: {4      authMethodsPerActor: {5        user: ["google"],6        customer: ["emailpass"],7      },8      // ...9    },10    // ...11  },12})
