The Oso Cloud client for Ruby provides a convenient wrapper around the Oso Cloud HTTP API for applications and services written in Ruby.
Oso Cloud is authorization-as-a-service. It provides abstractions for building and iterating on authorization in your application – based on years of work with hundreds of engineering teams.
-
Model: Build your authorization model using primitives for common patterns like multi-tenancy and RBAC. Express custom rules using Polar, a declarative policy language for authorization.
-
Store: Store your authorization data using a best-practices data model and use it for access decisions across all of your services.
-
Enforce & Query: Add enforcement calls to your application to perform yes/no permission checks, filter resources by permissions, list a user's roles, and show/hide pieces of your UI.
-
Test & Watch: Write tests over your authorization policies before you push them live. See logs of authorization decisions in real time.
