Summary

SuperTokens has introduced user roles to enhance authorization, complementing its existing authentication solutions such as email, password-less, social, and phone authentication. Built on the principles of role-based access control (RBAC), user roles allow for the assignment of specific permissions based on a user's role within an organization, enabling more precise control over access to resources. This new feature simplifies the process of creating roles and permissions, assigning them to users, and protecting API and website routes, all achievable in a matter of minutes. The system supports assigning multiple roles to a single user and verifies session permissions through straightforward string comparisons. This advancement in managing user roles marks a significant development for SuperTokens, as it integrates both authentication and authorization functionalities to offer a comprehensive user management tool.
