vercel-security-access_skill

Overview

This skill helps secure Vercel projects by centralizing guidance and actions for RBAC, SSO (SAML/OIDC), deployment protection, firewall rules, BotID, audit logs, and two-factor authentication. It is designed to help teams enforce least-privilege access, protect deployments, and detect or block malicious traffic. Use it when you need a practical checklist and configuration steps to harden Vercel accounts and projects.

How this skill works

The skill inspects access controls and security settings and highlights recommended changes: role assignments, SSO configuration, 2FA enforcement, and deployment protection. It reviews firewall and BotID posture and surfaces audit and activity log checks to validate compliance and incident investigation. The skill provides actionable next steps and links to official Vercel docs for each control.

When to use it

• Onboard or audit team access to ensure RBAC follows least privilege
• Enable SSO or update SAML/OIDC identity provider settings
• Protect preview and production deployments before major releases
• Configure firewall and BotID to reduce automated abuse and DDoS risk
• Investigate suspicious activity using audit and activity logs
• Enforce two-factor authentication across sensitive accounts

Best practices

• Define roles and assign minimal permissions per project and environment
• Use SAML or OIDC SSO for centralized identity and session controls
• Require 2FA for organization owners and members with elevated access
• Apply deployment protection rules for production and critical preview branches
• Create firewall rules that block known bad actors and limit IP ranges when possible
• Enable BotID and monitor bot scoring before applying hard blocks

Example use cases

• Lock down a production project by adding deployment protection and restricting who can deploy
• Migrate team sign-ins to SSO and enforce 2FA for all members
• Set up firewall rules and BotID to stop automated scraping and credential-stuffing attempts
• Run an access review using audit logs to identify stale service accounts and overprivileged roles
• Protect preview deployments for a security-sensitive feature behind role checks and protected branches
