Identity Access Management

In this part, you will build the backend for a coffee shop application. You’ll add user accounts and authentication to your application and use role-based access management strategies to control different types of user behavior in the app.

• Foundation
• Set the groundwork for understanding information security and refresh your understanding of the technologies used in future lessons.
• Identity and Authentication
• Explore frequently used methods of identifying who is making requests on web systems. Implement modern software patterns to accomplish this goal across the stack.
• Passwords
• Understand and overcome common pitfalls of the ubiquitous password authentication design pattern.
• Access and Authorization
• Limit access to specific resources or actions by restricting requests only to authorized request to particular users and groups of users. Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) across the stack.
• Thinking Adversarially
• Stay one step ahead of attackers by implementing a secure development process and knowing how to keep informed on the cutting edge of security research.
• Project: Coffee Shop Full Stack
• In this project, you'll demonstrate your new authentication and authorization skills by creating a full-stack application for a coffee shop menu.
