    # Backstage's auth-provider API.

    **Provided by `@backstage/auth-backend`.**

    The purpose of the Auth APIs in Backstage are to identify the user, and to provide a way for plugins
    to request access to 3rd party services on behalf of that user.

    The API is supplied with a list of providers - such as `Google` or `GitHub` - and will add the endpoints
    described below to each of those providers.
