Authorization Frameworks
Authorization frameworks are software systems or libraries that provide standardized methods for managing and enforcing access control policies in applications. They define how permissions are granted or denied to users, roles, or resources based on rules and policies. These frameworks help developers implement secure authorization logic consistently across different parts of an application or system.
Developers should learn and use authorization frameworks when building applications that require fine-grained access control, such as enterprise software, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, or systems with complex user roles and permissions. They are essential for ensuring security compliance, reducing the risk of unauthorized access, and simplifying the implementation of authorization logic, especially in distributed or microservices architectures where access control must be managed across multiple services.
