Backstage authorization policies managed through Open Policy Agent

Covers backend permission checks, frontend UI gating, and catalog entity validation through ready-made plugins. Removes redeploys when policies change and gives clear setup, testing, and debugging steps for each integration.

How to install backstage-opa-plugins?โ–ผ

Run `npx skills add Parsifal-M/backstage-opa-plugins --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

How to add OPA permissions to Backstage?โ–ผ

The permissions wrapper skill walks you through installing the module, pointing it at your OPA server, and writing a Rego policy that returns ALLOW, DENY, or CONDITIONAL decisions.

How to hide Backstage UI elements with OPA?โ–ผ

Use the opa-authz-react skill to wrap components in RequireOpaAuthz or call the useOpaAuthz hook, which shows or hides UI based on your policy result.

Can I secure custom backend routes with OPA?โ–ผ

Yes. The opa-service-integration skill shows how to inject opaService into any backend plugin and call evaluatePolicy inside your router before running sensitive logic.

Do I need to redeploy Backstage when policies change?โ–ผ

No. Policies live in separate Rego files evaluated by a running OPA server, so you can update access rules without touching or redeploying Backstage.
