Implementing Modern Cloud Native Authorization Using OpenFGA

Explore modern cloud native authorization using OpenFGA in this 25-minute conference talk by Andres Aguiar from Okta and Pauline Jamin from Agicap. Learn how Agicap, a SaaS product for cash flow monitoring, implemented Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC) to address fine-grained authorization challenges for mid-market enterprises. Discover the benefits of OpenFGA, a CNCF sandbox project, and how it helped Agicap overcome authorization complexities. Gain insights into ReBAC concepts, OpenFGA implementation, and the use of Behavior-Driven Design (BDD) tools for defining authorization use cases. Understand how this approach separates authorization logic from application code, making it easier to adapt to new requirements and improve overall system flexibility.
