What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a robust framework for implementing fine-grained access control in Rust applications, ensuring authorization decisions are consistent, explainable, and enforceable across services.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Policy-based Authorization: Define and evaluate access policies using concepts from XACML and RBAC.
- Flexible Policy Engine: Supports various combining algorithms (DenyOverrides, PermitOverrides, etc.) and rule conditions.
- RBAC Implementation: Includes a checker for role-based access control with role hierarchy.
- Policy Caching: Optimizes performance by caching policy evaluation results.
- Use Case: Securely manage access to resources in a microservices architecture, ensuring that only authenticated users with appropriate roles and permissions can perform specific actions on specific resources.
Quick Start
Use the rust-xacml skill to implement a policy-based authorization system for your Rust application.
