Part 4: Making it secure

Hi I'm Meriel and welcome to part 4!

I can imagine you're pretty full with all your new schema knowledge, but hopefully, you still have some room left because now we'll be building on that knowledge to make our database secure.

In this part, we'll cover the fundamentals of authentication:

  • System user authentication

  • Record user authentication

  • Sessions and expiration

  • Query Safety

We'll also look into the capabilities available to you to allow or deny specific SurrealDB features.

Stay safe, and I'll see you in the next one.
