Introducing FoAz: Frontend-only-Authorization

Permit.io has introduced Frontend-only-Authorization (FoAz), a novel feature that allows frontend developers to use sensitive APIs directly from the frontend without backend code, while ensuring robust security. FoAz addresses the need for enhanced permission models and granularity by acting as a proxy that checks API calls against policies and identities, allowing only authorized actions. This innovation facilitates direct API calls to services like Twilio, OpenAI, and Stripe without backend involvement, significantly boosting the efficiency and autonomy of frontend developers. Built on Permit.io’s low-code interfaces, FoAz aims to empower developers by enabling faster and secure feature deployment, and it is offered both as a ready-to-use SaaS and an open-source standard.
