Connections to external systems such as identity providers and source control systems.The control plane makes it easy to manage these artifacts centrally, and takes care of the details of synchronizing them to the Authorizer instance(s) deployed at the edge. The Control Plane manages the lifecycle of policies, user context, and resource data that are used by the authorizer. In this tutorial we’re going to use the hosted version of this authorizer.

It is an open source authorization engine which uses Open Policy Agent (OPA) to compute a decision based on policy, user context and resource data. The Authorizer is where authorization decisions get made.

In this tutorial you will learn how to integrate the Aserto SDK in the context of a Node.js service (using Express.js) that will interact with a React application.īefore we get started, let’s discuss two of Aserto's major components: the Authorizer and the Control Plane. Add the classes random-user and user-image inside the User.Aserto is a cloud-native authorization platform that allows you to avoid having to build your own access control solution and instead frees you up to focus on your core user experience.
