How to Add RBAC Authorization to Auth0

The blog post discusses the integration of Auth0 for authentication and Permit.io for authorization to enhance security in web applications. It explains that while Auth0 excels at verifying user identities through features like federated identity and multi-factor authentication, it lacks comprehensive authorization capabilities, which are essential for determining what authenticated users can do within an application. Permit.io addresses this gap by providing a low-code solution for managing access control policies, allowing applications to define and enforce fine-grained permissions based on user roles and attributes. The article demonstrates how to integrate these services using a Next.js application, highlighting the roles of client-side and server-side processes in authentication and authorization, respectively. It also provides a step-by-step guide for syncing user roles between Auth0 and Permit.io and implementing permission checks within application APIs to restrict user actions appropriately.
