The Authzed team is building a permission system as a service modeled on the Zanzibar service, with the goal of reducing complexity in configuration. The new Authzed configuration language aims to simplify and clarify configuration by providing a more readable and concise way of defining permissions and relationships between objects. This language separates concerns between relation and permission, allowing for distinct authorization decisions and verb-noun pairing for clarity. It also introduces allowed subject types, enhancing developer safety and data for driving new APIs. The language is now fully supported in the Authzed Playground and API, with documentation available for reference.
