Authorization as a service for developers

FreemiumFree TierAdded Jan 1, 2021

About

Permit.io is a full-stack authorization platform that handles permissions, roles, and access control so developers don't build it from scratch. It supports RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC models with a no-code UI for non-developers to manage permissions. The platform uses open-source engines (OPA, Cedar) under the hood and provides SDKs for all major languages. It includes an embeddable UI component for user-facing permission management and audit logs out of the box.

Origin Story

By Or Weis

The Problem

Authorization logic is complex, error-prone, and gets hardcoded into applications — making it impossible to change without code deployments.

Building It

Founded 2020, raised $12.5M Series A in 2024. Growing among dev teams who need flexible access control.

What It Means

Proves that authorization should be a managed service, not custom code buried in your application.

The Dream

Make fine-grained authorization as easy to implement as authentication became with Auth0.
