Permit.io has introduced a new capability that enables database-level authorization through integration with Trino, an open-source distributed SQL query engine, addressing the need for more secure and fine-grained data access controls. This integration allows organizations to enforce permissions directly at the data source, ensuring that queries are filtered and evaluated before sensitive information leaves the database. By utilizing Trino as a centralized gateway, Permit.io's Policy Decision Point (PDP) can manage policies centrally, apply row-level filtering, and perform column masking without altering the underlying databases. This setup is beneficial for both internal tools like BI dashboards and external APIs, offering robust policy-based authorization and compliance-ready logs. The integration supports advanced models such as RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC, enhancing data access security while maintaining efficient query performance. With Permit.io’s intuitive UI, teams can decouple authorization logic from databases, allowing policy updates without downtime and supporting hybrid environments. A detailed guide is provided to help users implement this integration with a demo using PostgreSQL, showcasing the practical application of these features for secure data management in multi-tenant SaaS apps and enterprise environments.
