In this document, you'll learn about the options of the Auth Module.

## providers

The `providers` option is an array of auth module providers.

When the Medusa application starts, these providers are registered and can be used to handle authentication.

For example:

```js title="medusa-config.js"
const { Modules } = require("@medusajs/framework/utils")

// ...

module.exports = defineConfig({
  // ...
  modules: {
    resolve: "@medusajs/medusa/auth",
    options: {
      providers: [
        {
          resolve: "@medusajs/medusa/auth-emailpass",
          id: "emailpass",
          options: {
            // provider options...
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  },
})
```

The `providers` option is an array of objects that accept the following properties:

- `resolve`: A string indicating the package name of the module provider or the path to it.
- `id`: A string indicating the provider's unique name or ID.
- `options`: An optional object of the module provider's options.

## Auth CORS

The Medusa application's authentication API routes are defined under the `/auth` prefix that requires setting the `authCors` property of the `http` configuration. So, before using these routes, make sure to set that configuration.

Refer to [Medusa's configuration guide](/references/medusa-config#authCors) for more details.

## authMethodsPerActor Configuration

The Medusa application's configuration accept an `authMethodsPerActor` configuration which restricts the allowed auth providers used with an actor type.

Learn more about the `authMethodsPerActor` configuration in [this guide](../auth-providers/page.mdx#configure-allowed-auth-providers-of-actor-types).
