Many frameworks and libraries provide plug-ins for common authorization
patterns like roles, but either don't provide enough of a model to be
helpful or are so rigid that you need to migrate away from them down the
line.
We just released a library that provides a configuration-based approach to
adding role-based access control (RBAC) to your application. The new Oso
Roles library, with support for Python + Flask, speeds up the time it takes
to build fine-grained permissions using roles and related patterns. The
library includes:
- Role configuration
- Data management
- Enforcement
- End-user configuration
- Last-mile customizations
The library is in early access. Here are relevant links:
