What is Clerk authentication?

Clerk offers multiple authentication strategies to identify legitimate users of your application, and to allow them to make authenticated requests to your backend.

What is the “User” object?

The User object contains all account information that describes a user of your app in Clerk. Users can authenticate and manage their accounts, update their personal and contact info, or set up security features for their accounts.

How do organizations work?

Organizations allow members to collaborate across shared resources. Each member of an organization needs to have a user account in your application. All organization members have access to most of the organization resources, but some members can take advantage of administrative features.
