Authorization and access control are critical aspects of software systems. In a recent demo, our very own Alex Olivier sits down with Alex Williams to share valuable insights on these topics, and demonstrates the Cerbos access control decision engine.

Key Takeaways:

• Exploring types of authorization: Alex delves into role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC), explaining their differences and use cases.
• Addressing common challenges: He highlights complexity, scalability, and security as common challenges faced by developers when implementing authorization.
• Introducing a dedicated authorization service or layer: Alex advocates for using a dedicated authorization service or layer to tackle these challenges effectively.
