## What it does

The skill lays out how Vercel handles identity and access: RBAC for project permissions, SSO over SAML or OIDC, and required 2FA for sensitive access. Separate sections cover deployment protection for previews and production, plus limiting who can reach protected builds.

Then come Vercel Firewall traffic rules and BotID for cutting automated abuse. Audit logs serve compliance reviews; activity logs answer who did what. Both get a short walkthrough.

Each topic is a compact list of actions with links to the matching Vercel docs. The skill is marked `user-invocable: false`, so you don't call it by typing a phrase — the agent picks it up when a task touches access or security. Two related skills, `vercel-teams-billing` and `vercel-observability`, are mentioned as optional; this one works without them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill vercel-security-access -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/vercel-security-access/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/vercel-security-access/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill vercel-security-access -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/vercel-security-access/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill vercel-security-access -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/vercel-security-access/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills vercel-security-access
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --path toolchains/platforms/deployment/vercel-security-access
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/vercel-security-access/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill vercel-security-access -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- assign project permissions by role in Vercel
- wire up SSO through SAML or OIDC
- keep preview deployments away from outsiders
- write firewall rules for incoming traffic
- read the audit log before a compliance check

## Example prompts
- Help me set up RBAC roles for our Vercel projects
- How do I enable SAML SSO on Vercel?
- Which firewall rules should I add against bots on Vercel?

## Overview

Vercel security features cover identity, access control, deployment protection, and threat mitigation.

## Access Control

- Use RBAC to define project permissions.
- Configure SAML or OIDC for SSO.
- Require 2FA for sensitive access.

## Deployment Protection

- Apply deployment protection for previews and production.
- Limit access to protected deployments.

## Firewall and Bot Defense

- Use Vercel Firewall to manage traffic rules.
- Use BotID to mitigate automated abuse.

## Audit and Activity Logs

- Review audit logs for compliance.
- Track activity history for user actions.

## Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

- **vercel-teams-billing**: Team settings and account policy.
- **vercel-observability**: Operational visibility for security events.

*Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.*
