Fine-Grained Authorization is now generally available
Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) is a highly flexible and granular authorization system designed for product and engineering teams looking to quickly implement fine-grained permissions in their applications. Unlike traditional role-based access control (RBAC), FGA allows users to grant permissions to specific resources within an application, enabling more complex authorization schemes like Google Docs-style permissions. WorkOS FGA is a fully managed service based on Google Zanzibar that helps teams of all sizes implement fine-grained authorization without the need for infrastructure deployment and maintenance. Since its early access release, FGA has been used by multiple companies and applications, serving millions of authorization operations per day.
