## Authentication and document access {#auth}
OpenRAG supports two authentication modes based on how you [install OpenRAG](/install), and which mode you choose affects document access.
**No-auth mode (Basic Setup)**: This mode uses a single anonymous JWT token for OpenSearch authentication, so documents uploaded to the `documents` index by one user are visible to all other users on the OpenRAG server.
**OAuth mode (Advanced Setup)**: Each OpenRAG user is granted a JWT token, and each document is tagged with user ownership. Documents are filtered by user ownership, ensuring users only see documents they uploaded or have access to.
