In my experience, businesses are especially concerned with authorization — enabling product sales to customers. They would rather not deal with identity and authentication — usernames and passwords — at all. These are already quite nicely handled to various degrees by Cogntio, Auth0, Azure Active Directory, and others. To address minimalist authorization needs, the portfolio of companies I worked with collaborated to create The Usher[1]. The Usher is an open source authorization server in NodeJS. Worth a peek if you, too, want to focus on authorization separate from authentication. Disclosure: I am a contributor to The Usher.
