No Permission Model vs Access Control Lists
Developers should consider a No Permission Model when building applications that are intended for personal use, rapid prototyping, or in scenarios where all users are fully trusted, such as internal company tools with no sensitive data meets developers should learn acls when building applications that require robust security and access management, such as multi-user systems, enterprise software, or cloud services. Here's our take.
No Permission Model
Developers should consider a No Permission Model when building applications that are intended for personal use, rapid prototyping, or in scenarios where all users are fully trusted, such as internal company tools with no sensitive data
No Permission Model
Nice PickDevelopers should consider a No Permission Model when building applications that are intended for personal use, rapid prototyping, or in scenarios where all users are fully trusted, such as internal company tools with no sensitive data
Pros
- +It simplifies development by eliminating the need for complex permission logic, reducing code overhead and speeding up initial deployment
- +Related to: role-based-access-control, attribute-based-access-control
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Access Control Lists
Developers should learn ACLs when building applications that require robust security and access management, such as multi-user systems, enterprise software, or cloud services
Pros
- +They are essential for implementing role-based access control (RBAC), securing APIs, and managing permissions in file systems or databases to prevent unauthorized access and ensure compliance with security standards
- +Related to: role-based-access-control, file-permissions
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use No Permission Model if: You want it simplifies development by eliminating the need for complex permission logic, reducing code overhead and speeding up initial deployment and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Access Control Lists if: You prioritize they are essential for implementing role-based access control (rbac), securing apis, and managing permissions in file systems or databases to prevent unauthorized access and ensure compliance with security standards over what No Permission Model offers.
