From Role-based to Relationship-based: Transforming Authorization with OpenFGA
As application complexity increases, the critical need for finely-tuned authorization solutions becomes increasingly evident. This talk introduces OpenFGA, a CNCF open-source high performance and flexible system for relationship-based authorization.
In this session, we will contrast OpenFGA with other authorization methods, such as role-based and policy-based approaches, to underscore the unique value proposition it offers. Through practical demonstrations, we will spotlight how OpenFGA seamlessly integrates with C# to empower developers with the ability to implement granular authorization controls within their .NET applications.
Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of OpenFGA's role in providing a robust solution for fine-grained authorization, giving them the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance the security posture of their applications effectively.
