Fine-Grained Authorization

Oso Cloud gives you a powerful way to define and enforce fine-grained authorization—down to the field, action, and relationship—so you can control who can do what, where, and why.

Your Access Logic Is More Complex Than You Think

Many applications start with simple role-based or relationship-based rules. But as your product evolves, so do your permission needs: field-level restrictions, impersonation logic, entitlement tiers, and conditional rules based on geography, time, or attributes. That's where Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) comes in.

Rigid and Limiting: The old framework couldn’t adapt quickly enough, limiting Oyster’s ability to serve new markets with larger, more demanding customers and channel partners. This included more finely grained data scoping between different roles such as admins, team managers, and team members, along with dynamic, relationship-based permissions.

Field-Level Permissions

Let users see only what they’re allowed to.

Control access to specific fields within a record—so managers can view sensitive data, while other roles only see what’s relevant.

Impersonation with Guardrails

Enable sensitive features, safely.

Define complex, conditional policies that tightly control impersonation: by team, role, region, and time of day.

Tiered Feature Access

Entitlements without spaghetti logic.

Model access to features and endpoints based on plan level, trial windows, or flags. No more role sprawl.
