Exploring Authorization Management with the Permit Library in Elixir

The talk covers different authorization paradigms in Elixir, including Access Control Lists (ACL), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), and Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC). It emphasizes the importance of avoiding repetition and having a single source of truth in authorization rules across Phoenix applications. The Permit library is introduced as a solution that consists of various components to integrate authorization seamlessly across different frameworks. It aims to simplify conditions and improve clarity in defining permission rules. The library supports Ecto and Phoenix, offering features to reduce boilerplate code and integrate smoothly into existing applications. Future directions for the library include potential integrations with other systems and enhancement of its functionalities.
