 ### Migrate Authentication & authorization
 
-TBD
+Considering the huge difference between the auth & auth design in LB3 and LB4, I
+think it's not feasible to migrate existing LB3 auth extension(s) to in way that
+will preserve the high-level design. Instead, users need to approach the auth
+layer with a fresh perspective and structure their extensions around the new
+architecture of auth & auth.
+
+In that light, I don't see much value in describing how to migrate techniques
+from LB3 auth extensions to LB4, because such techniques are very likely to be
+irrelevant in LB4 world.
+
+Let's see what questions LoopBack 4 users come with and write content that's
+useful to current LB4 applications & extensions, instead of documenting
+techniques that used to be useful in the past.
+
+> 24. Add a custom step to the default LB3 authentication/authorization

+>
+>     _Note: I think this step could be replaced by lazy initialization, where
+>     the current user groups are computed on the first access and cached for
+>     subsequent use._
+>
+> 25. A new role resolver (e.g. using groups), the app developer needs a way how
+>     to configure which models/repositories to use for role resolution.
