AccessGranted
A lightweight, multi-role, whitelist-based authorization gem for Rails and other Ruby applications.
What is AccessGranted?
AccessGranted is a lightweight authorization gem for Ruby on Rails and other Ruby applications. It provides a multi-role, whitelist-based system for defining permissions, solving common pain points like performance issues and convoluted policy files. It serves as a modern replacement for CanCan with improved speed and cleaner syntax.
Ruby on Rails developers and teams needing a performant, maintainable authorization solution, especially those transitioning from CanCan or building applications with complex role-based access control requirements.
Developers choose AccessGranted for its significant performance gains over CanCan, intuitive role-based permission structure, and framework-agnostic design. Its whitelist approach ensures policies are explicit and easy to reason about, reducing bugs and maintenance overhead.
