Casbin is a powerful and efficient open-source access control library that supports various access control models for enforcing authorization across the board.

Enforcing a set of rules is as simple as listing subjects, objects, and the desired allowed action (or any other format as per your needs) in a policy file. This is synonymous across all flows in which Casbin is used. The developer/administrator has complete control over the layout, execution, and conditions for authorization, which are set via the model file. Casbin provides an Enforcer for validating an incoming request based on the policy and model files given to the Enforcer.

Was ist Casbin?

Casbin is an authorization library that can be used in flows where we want a certain object or entity to be accessed by a specific user or subject. The type of access, i.e. action, can be read, write, delete, or any other action as set by the developer. This is how Casbin is most widely used, and it's called the "standard" or classic { subject, object, action } flow.

Casbin is capable of handling many complex authorization scenarios other than the standard flow. There can be the addition of roles (RBAC), attributes (ABAC), etc.

What Casbin Does

  1. Enforce the policy in the classic { subject, object, action } form or a customized form as you defined. Both allow and deny authorizations are supported.
  2. Behandeln Sie die Speicherung des Zugriffskontrollmodells und seiner Richtlinie.
  3. Verwalten Sie die Rollen-Benutzer-Zuordnungen und Rollen-Rollen-Zuordnungen (aka Rollen-Hierarchie im RBAC).
  4. Support built-in superusers like root or administrator. Ein Superuser kann alles ohne ausdrückliche Berechtigungen tun.
  5. Provide multiple built-in operators to support rule matching. For example, keyMatch can map a resource key /foo/bar to the pattern /foo*.

What Casbin Does NOT Do

  1. Authentication (aka verifying username and password when a user logs in)
  2. Liste der Benutzer oder Rollen verwalten.

It's more convenient for projects to manage their lists of users, roles, or passwords. Benutzer haben in der Regel ihre Passwörter und Casbin ist nicht als Passwort-Container konzipiert. Casbin speichert jedoch die Benutzerrollenzuordnung für das RBAC-Szenario.
