Products & Services
A comprehensive authorization platform supporting RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC with a low-code UI and policy-as-code approach (OPA/Cedar).
Embeddable UI components that allow developers to provide their users with self-service access management and audit logs.
A security layer for AI agents that implements fine-grained authorization and identity management for agentic workflows.
An open-source administration layer for Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Cedar, kept in real-time sync with application state changes.
Market Position
Permit.io positions itself as a 'full-stack' alternative to building authorization in-house or using low-level libraries. It competes with services like Auth0 FGA, WorkOS, and Clerk by focusing specifically on the authorization (rather than authentication) layer with a low-code UI and open-source foundation (OPAL).
