Oso Cloud is a centralized authorization service built on Polar, our logic programming language designed for expressing permission systems, and SQLite, the world’s most battle-tested database engine. Polar can express any model, including RBAC, ReBAC, ABAC, fine-grained authorization, as well as patterns like organizational hierarchies, custom roles, and more. When you need to answer an authorization question, you call our APIs via HTTP or SDKs. Oso Cloud evaluates the request against your authorization logic and facts, returning a boolean, list, or logic to execute against your database.
