Permissions vs No Permissions Model
Developers should learn about permissions to build secure software that protects sensitive data and complies with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA meets developers should consider using a no permissions model in scenarios where the application is intended for public, unrestricted use, such as open data platforms, educational tools, or proof-of-concept prototypes where security overhead is unnecessary. Here's our take.
Permissions
Developers should learn about permissions to build secure software that protects sensitive data and complies with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA
Permissions
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about permissions to build secure software that protects sensitive data and complies with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA
Pros
- +This is critical in multi-user systems, cloud applications, and enterprise software where access must be restricted based on user roles or policies
- +Related to: authentication, security-policies
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
No Permissions Model
Developers should consider using a No Permissions Model in scenarios where the application is intended for public, unrestricted use, such as open data platforms, educational tools, or proof-of-concept prototypes where security overhead is unnecessary
Pros
- +It is also useful during initial development phases to avoid complexity, allowing teams to focus on core functionality before implementing access controls
- +Related to: access-control, authentication
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Permissions if: You want this is critical in multi-user systems, cloud applications, and enterprise software where access must be restricted based on user roles or policies and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use No Permissions Model if: You prioritize it is also useful during initial development phases to avoid complexity, allowing teams to focus on core functionality before implementing access controls over what Permissions offers.
