Use Cerbos in Okou

Use a Cerbos policy decision point for token-authenticated authorization checks, query plans, AuthZEN evaluations, server information, and health checks.

Once connected, supported Cerbos actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

  • Evaluate Cerbos authorization decisions for one or more resources.
  • Evaluate single or batch AuthZEN authorization requests through Cerbos.
  • Check whether the Cerbos PDP is healthy and ready.
  • Build a Cerbos query plan describing which resources satisfy an authorization request.
  • Read the Cerbos AuthZEN metadata and endpoint configuration.
