FAQPage Schema

How do I set up Ory Permissions for tool authorization?▼

Onboarding Ory Permissions requires a properly configured Ory project and OAuth2 client to bootstrap permission tuples and transition from observe mode to enforce mode.

What is the difference between observe mode and enforce mode in Ory Permissions?▼

Observe mode monitors permission checks without blocking actions, while enforce mode enables strict user security where any denied permission immediately results in a blocked action.

How do I bootstrap permission tuples for new users in Ory?▼

Bootstrapping permission tuples grants the current user `use` access on every built-in tool, ensuring they have the necessary permissions before enabling strict enforcement.

Do I need an OAuth2 client to enable permission enforcement in Ory?▼

Yes, enforcing per-tool authorization requires proper project setup and an active OAuth2 client configuration to validate user permissions within the Ory environment.

What happens when a permission is denied in Ory enforce mode?▼

In enforce mode, denied permissions result in an immediate block, ensuring strict production security by preventing any unauthorized tool usage or access attempts.

Can I use Ory Permissions with an existing Ory project setup?▼

Yes, Ory Permissions supports existing Ory projects, allowing you to seamlessly transition your current toolset into strict permission enforcement without roadblocks.
