Why Permit.io?

Every application out there needs an authorization layer - but that doesn’t mean you need to build it from scratch. That’s what Permit here is for!

Why use Permit.io?

Authorization is a complex challenge every developer building an application has to face. It plays the crucial role of ensuring that the right people and services have the right access to the right resources.

Authorization is more than just how your software enforces access. It's about connecting systems and people to what you’ve built. It's the experiences the developers and their end users go through to manage your product on a daily basis. That’s why Permit doesn’t provide you with just the building blocks of creating your own authorization layer - but with the whole package:

Infrastructure

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.

Backoffice

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.

Interfaces

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.

The combination of these three components makes Permit a full end-to-end solution that covers all of your access control needs - so you never have to build permissions again.
