    Hey HN, I recently shared my thoughts on why Google Zanzibar is a great solution for implementing authorization[1] and why we decided to build Warrant’s core authz service using key concepts from the Zanzibar paper. As I mentioned in the post, we recently open sourced the authz service powering our managed cloud service, Warrant Cloud[2], so I thought I’d share it with everyone here. Cheers!

    Permify was born out of our repeated struggles with authorization. Like any other piece of software, authorization starts small but as things grow scaling it becomes a real pain and begins to hinder product development processes. Ad-hoc authorization systems scattered throughout your app’s codebase are hard to manage, reason about, and iterate on as the company grows. Also you will need to have more specific access controls as things grow. Traditional approaches like RBAC is inefficient for defining granular permissions such as resource-specific, hierarchical, or context-aware permissions.…

    Hello HN ! There’s been a lot of discussions [1,2] on how to build ReBAC [3] with Zanzibar and policy-as-code engines, but we (Permit) also think it’s important to talk about the interfaces on top of these implementations. We just launched a No-Code ReBAC interface - would love to know what you think. besides marrying the benefits of Policy as Code and Policy as Graph, the idea here is to create simple enough interfaces that everyone can use, so developers can set the stage and delegate the rest to others. We used Role-derivation as a concept to simplify a lot of the mechanics what should we…
