The architecture of fine-grained authorization webinar

Everything you need to know about resource-level, real-time authorization systems for applications

Any application

Add granular permissions to any application in mins and be production ready in <2 weeks

const { jwtAuthz } = require("@aserto/aserto-node")
const checkAuthz = jwtAuthz({ ... })
// ...
app.get("/protectPath/:param", checkJwt, checkAuthz, 
  async (req, res) => { ... }
)

Node

Python

Java

.NET

Ruby

Roles, attributes & relationships

Authorize based on roles (RBAC), attributes (ABAC), relationships (ReBAC), or combinations

allowed {
  input.user.properties.dept == "Sales"
}

Use any user-centric attributes in your policies

Fine-grained permissions

Give users access to what they need, when they need it
