Aperçu

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.

Qu'est-ce que 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. Gérer le stockage du modèle de contrôle d'accès et de sa politique.
  3. Gérer les mappings des rôles utilisateur et les mappings des rôles (aka la hiérarchie des rôles dans RBAC).
  4. Support built-in superusers like root or administrator. Un super-utilisateur peut faire quoi que ce soit sans autorisation explicite.
  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. Gérer la liste des utilisateurs ou des rôles.

It's more convenient for projects to manage their lists of users, roles, or passwords. Les utilisateurs ont généralement leurs mots de passe, et Casbin n'est pas conçu comme un conteneur de mot de passe. Cependant, Casbin stocke la cartographie des rôles des utilisateurs pour le scénario de la RBAC.
