Hi Product Hunt! Thanks Kat for hunting us! We’re Aditya & Karan, the co-founders of Warrant! We’re building APIs to help developers add authorization and access control to their apps. Why we're building Warrant - Developers today are building more powerful software products than ever before, but with more features and capabilities comes more complexity. One of those complexities is authorization: What actions can this user perform in my app? What data can they access? etc. - It wasn’t until we tried implementing role-based access control (RBAC) in our own SaaS side-project that we realized how difficult and time consuming this problem is to solve, even with the many readily available open source authorization libraries. - Implementing bulletproof access control that changes and grows with your product is non-trivial and takes time to get right. This “detour” can take precious time away from building your product’s actual features. - Karan and I have built solutions for many authorization and access control challenges at Lyft, Yahoo, Medallia and AppLovin. We understand how to solve these problems once and for all at scale. - We're building Warrant to abstract and solve authorization and access control at every layer of the stack so you don't have to. How it works - Warrant provides APIs you can use to create and manage ‘warrants’ (or access rules) that govern access to your application and its resources. - You can then protect your resources and features behind ‘warrant’ checks at runtime (for example - protecting access to your admin pages or other admin-only resources). - In addition to the APIs, the Warrant dashboard provides a simple website where even non-technical users and admins can manage warrants. - Warrant is flexible and supports any access model from RBAC & ABAC to your own custom model. Who it’s for - Anyone building web or mobile apps. Some examples: SaaS products with different user tiers (free/paid), internal tools with multiple roles and personas, ecommerce websites with admins, analytics tools with sensitive data, customer support apps etc. - We're building Warrant for both developers and non-technical users. APIs & SDKs to help developers with integration and an easy-to-use dashboard to allow other users (product managers, support, sales etc) to manage access. What's next - If you're looking to implement authorization and access control, check out our docs and sign-up for free to get started! - Email us at hello@warrant.dev if you want to chat. We'd love to hear from you. Thanks!
