Authorization

Auth

May user X do Y, answered over HTTP.

What it is

auth answers one question over HTTP: may user X do Y. It is authorization, not authentication: it does not log anyone in, store passwords, issue tokens or manage sessions; it trusts that the caller already knows who the user is. The model is user, role, permission: a user holds a permission exactly when a role they belong to holds it.

Who it is for. Services that need role-based access control and would otherwise build their own roles and permissions tables.

  • RBAC
  • REST
  • Python

What it does

One question

May user X do Y: the whole surface, answered consistently for every service.

Users, roles, permissions

Membership in a role grants its permissions; nothing else to model.

Authorization only

No passwords, sessions or tokens here: authentication belongs to RODMENA ID.

REST and Python

Plain HTTP with exact response shapes, and a Python client.
