Summary
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to implement role-based access control (RBAC) in a Node.js application using WorkOS. To follow along, you need to have logged-in users and install the WorkOS Node SDK. You then set secrets for authentication, configure roles with permissions, assign roles to users, and add code to integrate RBAC logic into your application. The tutorial covers how to get a user's roles, update a user's roles, and includes next steps for implementing RBAC in your app. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of using SCIM to support an identity provider-based authorization system, ensuring end-to-end data integrity and scalability.
