• Relationship-Based Permission Checks - Evaluates permission checks by traversing relationship tuples with sub-millisecond latency using the Zanzibar consistency model.
• Team Action Permission Checks - Checks whether a subject has a specific permission on an object before allowing an action, returning a boolean result.
• Transitive Permission Rule Definitions - Defines permission checks using includes and transitive operators that evaluate whether a subject has access based on relations.
• Policy-Based Access Control - Provides a declarative policy language to define relationships and rules for fine-grained access control.
• Request Authorization Enforcers - Enforces authorization at the network edge by injecting user headers and redirecting unauthenticated requests.
• SAML and JWT Authentications - Authenticates users through enterprise identity providers using SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect federation.
• Permission Listings - Traverses a permission subject set to list every subject with implied access, showing who has a given permission and why.
• Bidirectional Relationship Queries - Queries the relationship graph in both directions to list objects accessible to a subject or subjects with access to an object.
• Single Sign-On Integrations - Registers applications with external OpenID Connect providers for single sign-on authentication.
• Self-Service Authentication Flows - Provides complete user authentication with self-service flows, session management, and email/SMS verification and recovery.
• User Identity Management - Stores user data based on customizable schemas with full CRUD API endpoints for identity management.
• External User Provisioning - Ships automated user provisioning by syncing accounts from an identity provider to downstream applications.
• Authorization Schema DSLs - Defines object types, relations, and permissions in a TypeScript-like DSL that compiles into a formal authorization schema.
• Tuple-Based Stores - Stores every access relationship as a tuple in a SQL database, enabling fast graph traversal and intersection queries.
• Authorized Request Forwarders - Forwards requests to upstream services only when they match access rules and pass authorization checks.
• Action Auditing - Captures allowed, denied, deferred, and approved actions as structured audit events, recording the session initiator, agent, action, policy result, and reason.
• Phased Enforcement - Defines whether an agent action is allowed, blocked, or requires human approval, and lets organizations phase enforcement from observation to strict control.
• GitHub Organization Membership Checks - Checks GitHub organization membership and profile data to enforce access decisions on resources.
• Session Augmentation APIs - Calls an external API during authentication to augment the session with extra data or headers for subsequent mutators.
• Cloud or Self-Hosted Deployments - Runs as a managed SaaS, on-premises, or in a private cloud with identical code and no vendor lock-in.
• Infrastructure as Code - Defines and manages authorization and identity resources as declarative Terraform configurations.
• Policy-as-Code Definitions - Manages authorization resources and policies declaratively using Terraform, Pulumi, and Helm configurations.
• Access Control Integration - Enforces fine-grained access control on API requests by integrating with API gateway services.
• GitHub Authentication - Handles the OAuth2 login flow and token lifecycle for authentication through GitHub accounts.
• Concurrent Connection Handling - Handles high-volume authentication requests with minimal resource usage by running many concurrent connections.
• Authorization Audit Trails - Captures authorization decisions as structured audit events for security monitoring and compliance requirements.
• Consent Synchronization - Captures consent choices and transmits them to a privacy management system, automatically mapping categories and maintaining data integrity during outages.
• Cryptographic Key Management - Safely stores cryptographic key material for signing JSON Web Tokens and other cryptographic operations.
• Data Subject Request Workflows - Automates deletion, access, and rectification requests by executing them directly against the identity system's admin API.
• eIDAS Assurance Metadata Policies - Uses identity assurance metadata from eIDAS-compliant brokers to make context-sensitive authorization decisions.
• Security and Compliance - Continuously monitors identity configurations and access policies to automate SOC 2 compliance.
• Attribute-based Access Controls - Inspects JWT claims at the gateway layer to grant or deny access based on roles and scopes.
• Permission Model Test Suites - Validates relationship-based access rules by creating test relationships and checking permissions through the API or SDK.
• Agent Action Policies - Checks every agent action against a Zanzibar-style permission model before execution, enforcing policies on shell commands, file writes, and web fetches.
• Agent Identities - Assigns unique credentials and audit attribution to each agent, so teams can trace which agent acted, where it ran, and how it was delegated.
• Support Context Identity Verification - Verifies a user's identity automatically during customer support interactions, providing context and eliminating re-authentication.
• Machine Identity Authentication - Verifies identity of automated services, microservices, or AI agents in real-time with instant credential revocation.
• Headless OAuth2 Identity Integration - Connects OAuth2 and OpenID Connect flows to any external user management system through a headless API.
• Token Signing Services - Replaces original credentials with a cryptographically signed JSON Web Token verifiable via a public key endpoint.
• Pass-Through Header Proxies - Leaves original request headers untouched so the backend receives credentials in their original form.
• Policy Validators - Performs compile-time type checking on relation and permission declarations to catch errors before runtime.
• Social Authentication Providers - Connects to over 15 pre-built social sign-in providers or any OpenID Connect-compliant identity provider.
