## What is Permify?



[Permify](https://github.com/Permify/permify) is an open-source authorization service for easily building and managing fine-grained, scalable, and extensible access controls for your applications and services. Inspired by Google’s consistent, global authorization system, [Google Zanzibar](https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-data/pdf/41f08f03da59f5518802898f68730e247e23c331.pdf)



Our service makes authorization more secure and adaptable to changing needs, allowing you to get it up and running in just a few minutes to a couple of days—no need to spend months building out entire piece of infrastructure.



### With Permify, you can:



🔮 Create permissions and policies using domain specific language that is compatible with traditional roles and permissions (RBAC), arbitrary relations between users and objects (ReBAC), and dynamic attributes (ABAC).



🔐 Set up isolated authorization logic and custom permissions for your applications/organizations (tenants) and manage them in a single place.



✅ Interact with the Permify API to perform access checks, filter your resources with specific permissions, perform bulk permission checks for various resources, and more!



🧪 Abstract your authorization logic from app logic to enhance visibility, observability, and testability of your authorization system.



## Getting Started 



- Follow a guide to model your authorization using [Permify's Authorization Language].

- See our [Playground], build your authorization logic and test it with sample data.

- Explore overview of [Permify API] and learn how to interact with it.

- See [our article] to examine [Google Zanzibar](https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-data/pdf/41f08f03da59f5518802898f68730e247e23c331.pdf) in a nutshell.
