Nuxt authorization: How to get fine-grained access control

Fine-grained access enables you to exercise granular control over who is able to access what digital resources as well as what can be done to those resources once they are accessed. Fine-grained access control is about more than simply saying “User A has access and User B does not”. It is about regulating access based on need, location, time of day, access device and more, all to ensure the integrity of vital digital resources and compliance with various standards and regulations.

Fine-grained Nuxt authorization enables you to limit access to sensitive data using the Least Privilege Principle whereby users are assigned the minimum amount of access and permissions necessary for them to do their job. At the same time, you are able to authorize senior managers to access and alter a wide variety of digital resources using a variety of access platforms and regardless of geolocation.
