# Implementing user authorization in Next.js

**[LogRocket](https://daily.dev/sources/logrocket)** · 9 min read · 54 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

NextAuth.js is a full-fledged authentication and authorization solution for Next.js designed to work with any OAuth service. To use them in your project, create a file named.env.local in the root of your project directory. This file will contain all the providers that you want to use in your app. Each provider will be configured using the credentials in order for the app to successfully connect with our OAuth identity provider.
