setup-auth

The setup-auth skill configures authentication and authorization for Power Pages code sites, supporting multiple identity providers including Microsoft Entra ID, OpenID Connect, SAML2, local authentication, and social providers. Use this skill to scaffold login/logout functionality, role-based access control, type declarations, and authorization utilities that match your site's framework (React, Vue, etc.), with mock data for local development testing.

# Set Up Authentication & Authorization

Configure authentication (login/logout) and role-based authorization for a Power Pages code site. This skill supports multiple identity providers -- Microsoft Entra ID, Entra External ID (for customer-facing apps with self-service sign-up), OpenID Connect (generic), SAML2, WS-Federation, local authentication (username/password), Microsoft Account, Facebook, and Google. It also supports optional features including invitation-based registration and Terms & Conditions acceptance. Power Pages built-in 2FA is intentionally not scaffolded because the SendCode/VerifyCode pages are server-rendered and cannot be integrated into a SPA experience — use IdP-level MFA instead. It creates an auth service, type declarations, authorization utilities, auth UI components, and role-based access control patterns appropriate to the site's framework and chosen identity provider(s).

## Core Principles

- **Client-side auth is UX only** — Power Pages authentication is server-side (session cookies). Client-side role checks control what users see, not what they can access. Server-side table permissions enforce actual security.
- **Framework-appropriate patterns** — Every auth artifact (hooks, composables, services, directives, guards) must match the detected framework's idioms and conventions.
- **Development parity** — Include mock data for local development so developers can test auth flows and role-based UI without deploying to Power Pages.

**Initial request:** $ARGUMENTS

> **Prerequisites:**
>
> - An existing Power Pages code site created via `/create-site`
> - The site must be deployed at least once (`.powerpages-site` folder must exist)
> - Web roles must be created via `/create-webroles`

## Workflow

1. **Phase 1: Check Prerequisites** — Verify site exists, detect framework, check web roles
2. **Phase 2: Plan** — Gather auth requirements and present plan for approval
3. **Phase 3: Create Auth Service** — Auth service with login/logout and type declarations
4. **Phase 4: Create Authorization Utils** — Role-checking functions and wrapper components
5. **Phase 5: Create Auth UI** — Login/logout button integrated into navigation
6. **Phase 6: Implement Role-Based UI** — Apply role-based patterns to site components
7. **Phase 7: Verify Auth Setup** — Validate all auth files exist, build succeeds, auth UI renders
8. **Phase 8: Review & Deploy** — Summary and deployment prompt

## Phase 1: Check Prerequisites

**Goal:** Confirm the project exists, identify the framework, verify deployment status and web roles, and check for existing auth code.

### Actions

#### 1.1 Locate Project

Look for `powerpages.config.json` in the current directory or immediate subdirectories:

```text
**/powerpages.config.json
```

**If not found**: Tell the user to create a site first with `/create-site`.

#### 1.2 Detect Framework

Read `package.json` to determine the framework (React, Vue, Angular, or Astro). See `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/framework-conventions.md` for the full framework detection mapping.

#### 1.3 Check Deployment Status

Look for the `.powerpages-site` folder:

```text
**/.powerpages-site
```

**If not found**: Tell the user the site must be deployed first:

> "The `.powerpages-site` folder was not found. The site needs to be deployed at least once before authentication can be configured."

<!-- gate: setup-auth:1.3.deploy-first | category=plan | cancel-leaves=nothing -->

> 🚦 **Gate (plan · setup-auth:1.3.deploy-first):** `.powerpages-site` missing — auth setup writes site settings inside that folder. Deploy first or stop.
>
> **Trigger:** Phase 1.3 detected no `.powerpages-site` folder.
> **Why we ask:** Auto-deploy picks the wrong env; skipping leaves auth wiring broken.
> **Cancel leaves:** Nothing — no auth files written yet.

Use `AskUserQuestion`:

| Question | Options |
|----------|---------|
| Your site needs to be deployed first. Would you like to deploy now? | Yes, deploy now (Recommended), No, I'll do it later |

**If "Yes, deploy now"**: Invoke `/deploy-site`, then resume.

**If "No"**: Stop — the site must be deployed first.

#### 1.4 Check Web Roles

Look for web role YAML files in `.powerpages-site/web-roles/`:

```text
**/.powerpages-site/web-roles/*.yml
```

Read each file and compile a list of existing web roles (name, id, flags).

<!-- gate: setup-auth:1.4.create-webroles | category=plan | cancel-leaves=nothing -->

> 🚦 **Gate (plan · setup-auth:1.4.create-webroles):** No web roles found — role-based authorization needs at least one role. Create roles first or skip and add later.
>
> **Trigger:** Phase 1.4 found no YAML files in `.powerpages-site/web-roles/`.
> **Why we ask:** Auto-invoking `/create-webroles` runs another full skill; auto-skipping leaves RBAC checks against an empty role set.
> **Cancel leaves:** Nothing — no auth files written yet.

**If no web roles exist**: Warn the user that web roles are needed for authorization. Ask via `AskUserQuestion` whether to create them first:

| Question | Options |
|----------|---------|
| No web roles were found. Web roles are required for role-based authorization. Would you like to create them now? | Yes, create web roles first (Recommended), Skip — I'll add roles later |

**If "Yes"**: Invoke `/create-webroles`, then resume.

**If "Skip"**: Continue — auth service and login/logout will still work, but role-based authorization will need roles created later.

#### 1.5 Discover Existing Auth Configuration

**Always run this discovery step, even on a first invocation** — the site may have site settings from a prior run, or from hand-editing the YAML files, even if no SPA auth code exists yet. The goal is to make sure we never silently drop a provider that's already configured server-side.

**Step 1 — Scan `.powerpages-site/site-settings/` for already-configur
