Hi everyone. I'm currently working on permissions for our saas product and this led me to a lot of thinking about FOC topics. The way I see it, permission is a topic that can get quite complex, but really does not add a lot of value to the end users. As a PM, I really don't want to spend a lot of time on it, I just expect it to get done. And I think that any person that is trying to hack something for the real world eventually reaches a point where they need to think about this, but they would rather spend the time solving the problems they really care about, and not about the tables for a RBAC permission model.
So it seemed to me quite obvious that this was a ' solved' problem in programming. I can just use an API in the code to define what is fenced with acces control, I automatically get a GUI to manage that, and voilà, I can handle role-based permissions without worrying too much about it.
I have not found such thing, which makes me think that I'm not looking right (hopefully). Anyone has any experience with these things?
