Introduction

ORY Keto is an permission server that implements best practice access control mechanisms:

• Available today:
  • ORY-flavored Access Control Policies with exact, glob, and regexp matching strategies
• Available soon:
  • Access Control Lists
  • Role Based Access Control
  • Role Based Access Control with Context (Google/Kubernetes-flavored)
  • Amazon Web Services Identity & Access Management Policies (AWS IAM Policies)

Each mechanism is powered by a decision engine implemented on top of the Open Policy Agent and provides well-defined management and authorization endpoints.
