In this episode of Identity in a Minute, Auth0 by Okta developer advocate Carla fills us in on what FGA is.
FGA stands for Fine-Grained-Authorization and it’s an authorization system that allows you to grant access to specific objects or resources to individual users.Â
A good example of this is Google Drive, where access can be granted either to documents, or folders; it can be granted to users individually or as a group. Access regularly changes as new documents are created and shared with specific users, whether inside the same company or outside.
To learn more about FGA you can go to fga.dev where you can find lots of documentation and a playground to understand more about how it works!
