OpenFGA

Apache-2.0 Zanzibar-style ReBAC with a Check API

Auth / AuthZ · Apache-2.0 · 5.7k

What's Good

Apache-2.0. Relationship-based access control, Check API, modeling language. Self-host the authorization service. CNCF-flavored ReBAC without inventing your own graph.

The Catch

Zanzibar-style ReBAC + Check API — not Cerbos YAML ABAC. Vs SpiceDB: CNCF/Okta OpenFGA modeling + Check API lane; SpiceDB is AuthZed production Zanzibar + ZedTokens/Cloud. Distinct from Cerbos.

Verdict

Apache-2.0 ReBAC. Self-host free. Not Cerbos YAML.
