Fast and scalable permissions | Ory
Manage access with precision
Take charge of your data. Ory’s enterprise-grade permissions gives teams the tools they need to build secure applications without compromising speed or scalability.
Permissions shouldn’t be a pain. At Ory, we’ve taken the hassle out of clunky, rigid permissions and created a modeling and management system for permissions that developers will actually enjoy using.
Flexible access policies
Define permissions for users and resources at a granular level for simple or complex permissioning scenarios. Unify access across all your applications and break up silos and tightly-coupled legacy rights management that's hard to extend, maintain and reason about.
Powerful permission modeling
Whether you need role-based access control (RBAC) or are controlling access and edit rights to files and resources, Ory Permissions makes it simple. At any scale.
Reduce complexity, increase security
Centralize authorization into one powerful platform that integrates anywhere, scales indefinitely, and lets you add rules on the fly without touching application code or databases.
Automate access control
Let users inherit permissions based on document hierarchies, group memberships and attributes like title, location, or file type. Determine what can or can’t be accessed in real time.
Add granular access control that scales
With Ory adding rules or changing permissions is as easy as flicking a switch.
