Casbin
An authorization library supporting ACL, RBAC, ABAC, and other access control models across multiple programming languages.
What is Casbin?
Casbin is an open-source authorization library that enforces access control policies based on models like ACL, RBAC, and ABAC. It provides a unified way to manage permissions across applications, allowing developers to define and switch authorization models through configuration files. The library handles policy storage, role mappings, and rule matching, simplifying the implementation of complex security requirements.
Developers building applications that require fine-grained authorization, such as enterprise systems, multi-tenant platforms, or any software needing role-based or attribute-based access control.
Casbin offers a flexible, language-agnostic solution for authorization with support for multiple access control models out of the box. Its configuration-driven approach reduces code changes when updating security policies, and its availability in many programming languages ensures broad compatibility.
