What are application permissions?

Model your application permissions with a nuanced, context-aware approach, allowing for precise access control to any resource within your system. This eliminates the need to embed complex logic directly into your application code, streamlining development and enhancing security.

Revolutionize your authorization approach

• Centralized decisioning: Define and evaluate all access controls from a singular point across your entire application.
• Dynamic context: Utilize real-time request and user context for immediate decision-making.
• Configuration over code: Leverage simple YAML configurations, enabling cross-team management as your operations scale.
• Enhanced role dynamics: Derive roles based on contextual data, breaking free from the limitations of traditional identity providers.

Crafting application permissions with Cerbos

        
      
      
apiVersion: api.cerbos.dev/v1
resourcePolicy:
 resource: document
  version: default
  rules:
    - actions:
        - read
      effect: EFFECT_ALLOW
      roles:
        - EDITOR
      condition:
        match:
          expr: now().getHours() >= 9 && now().getHours() < 18

This sample policy grants 'editor' role users the ability to read and edit documents, but only during business hours. Cerbos provides real-time feedback, ensuring the policy's validity and effects are immediately clear.
