Struggling with writing permissions and authorization codes?? Feeling sad for you man! I was too struggling with this until I got to know about the Permit.io 🥹
In this blog, I'm going to cover some basics of Permit and how it can smoothly handles the authorization part of your application.
But before starting, let's know "What is Authorization?" first.
Authorization (abbreviated as AuthZ) is the critical and most advanced part of Identity Access Management (IAM). It controls access within a product. This is where you'd most often run into roles, permissions, ownership, application users, invites, approval flows, and many more common patterns. You can read more about 🔏
Authorization is the need of every application. Without authZ, your application doesn't have control access within many parameters, making it unsafe. 🔑
Authorization plays the crucial role of ensuring that the right people and services have the right access to the right resources. Permit allows you to decouple your authorization policy and application code, providing you with everything you need to create the perfect authorization layer for your application - A centralized control panel, SDKs, APIs, and microservice for authorization. These allow you to easily set up decision and enforcement points within your application. The good thing about it is all authorization decisions are made on your side with zero latency.
🧑💻Permit’s cloud service provides you with a full set of no-code tools that allow you, as well as every relevant person in your organization (e.g., product, security, support, or sales), to manage authorization within your application in a secure way, with zero coding knowledge required.
🍩 Permit provides you with a full set of pre-built UI components that provide fully functional access control, allowing you to safely delegate them to your end users.
👷♂️ Policy models such as ABAC (Attribute-based Access Control) and ReBAC (Relationship-based Access Control), or even a combination of both of them are now really easy to configure with Permit.io.
1️⃣ Get your Permit Environment API Key
)
docker pull permitio/pdp-v2:latest
- Replace the API key with your key in the below command
docker run -it -p 7766:7000 --env PDP_DEBUG=True --env PDP_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> permitio/pdp-v2:latest
- Now, your PDP container is running, Use the below command to check or verify the running container.
docker ps
3️⃣ It's time to add Permit.io to your app!
We will be using Permit SDK for this. You can integrate Permit.io for a wide variety of coding languages.
Example:
const permitted = await permit.check(
// the key of the user
"[email protected]",
// the action
"modify",
{
type: "document",
tenant: "permit_io",
}
);
You can also check the permission against the ABAC Policy. An to see your permissions request results.

In the part II of this blog, I'll talking about OPAL- Open Policy Administration Layer (OPAL) which is an open-source project developed and maintained by the Permit.io team. It serves as an administration layer for Policy Engines, detecting changes to both policy and policy data in real time and pushing live updates to your agents.
