About OpenFGA

OpenFGA is an open source Fine-Grained Authorization solution inspired by Google's Zanzibar paper. It was created by the FGA team at Auth0 based on Auth0 Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA), available under a permissive license (Apache-2) and welcomes community contributions.

OpenFGA is designed to make it easy for application builders to model their permission layer, and to add and integrate fine-grained authorization into their applications. OpenFGA’s design is optimized for reliability and low latency at a high scale.

It allows in-memory data storage for quick development, as well as pluggable database modules - with initial support for PostgreSQL.

It offers an HTTP API and a gRPC API. It has SDKs for Node.js/JavaScript, GoLang, Python and .NET. Look in our Community section for third-party SDKs and tools.

More SDKs and integrations such as Rego are planned for the future.
