Is it my impression or nowadays the emerging technology in this sense is OPA (Open Policy Agent)?
It looks like a flexible system to build cross-language and cross-framework authorization systems.
- etxm 6y agoI use OPA with terraform and kubernetes, but I’m looking for something for application ACLs, where I as a resource owner can assign permissions to arbitrary subjects for a resource. Does OPA support that? If so that would be very very cool.
- rad_gruchalski 6y agoI think Ory Keto would be a better choice because it's easier to manage individual resources on an ad-hoc basis.
- andyroid 6y agoCertainly! Application and microservice authorization is probably one of the more common use cases for OPA, and there's definitely benefits in having a unified policy engine in an organization or company.
- etxm 6y agoI have only found RBAC and ABAC docs and tutorials for OPA, do you happen to know of a good source of docs for ACLs like, User A gives User B edit rights on Resource C? Update: I swear I’ve looked through the docs 20 times and I’ve never seen this use case, but of course after writing this comment I go back and immediately find what may work :-) https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/comparison-to-other-systems/#amazon-web-services-iam https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/comparison-to-ot...
