Authorization policies in Rails define rules for what users can do. Create policy classes with methods like index?, show?, and update?, then use authorize! in controllers to enforce them. ActionPolicy automates this pattern with templates and inheritance support.

Yes, ActionPolicy integrates with GraphQL. Apply policies to GraphQL resolvers and fields using the same authorize! and allowed_to? methods you use in controllers, enabling consistent authorization across your GraphQL API.

Use relation_scope hooks in your policies to automatically filter records based on what the current user is allowed to access. This prevents N+1 queries and keeps authorization logic centralized in policy classes.

ActionPolicy provides caching hooks to store authorization results and avoid repeated policy checks. Configure caching in your policy classes to reduce overhead, especially for frequently-checked rules in high-traffic applications.

Yes, ActionPolicy integrates with I18n to provide translated authorization failure messages. Define localized strings in your locale files and ActionPolicy automatically uses them when authorization rules are denied.

ActionPolicy provides testing patterns and helpers to verify policy rules work correctly. Write tests that check which actions are allowed or denied for different user roles, ensuring authorization logic is reliable before deployment.
