👋 @Sergio Marin Velazquez Welcome to Cerbos community! How did you hear about us?
s
Embarrassing really.... I am the CTO of Video SaaS company powtoon.com. Our CEO, not a tech person at all, read about you on venture beat and connected your motto "Do not reinvent user permissions" to our current infrastructure mission to create a good and flexible user permissions infrastructure. Great tip!
Oh, you didn't ask me at all 🤣
e
Thanks for that, it makes sense. What types of user permissions do you have in your product? Can we help you better manage and improve them over time?
@Sven Hoffmann Do you have RBAC or ABAC implementations or ambitions?
s
Yes, we have a big epic on the plan for Q2 to build "roles and permissions infrastructure"
and frankly, I would be super thrilled to have cerbos be our permissions engine. My involved engineers are a bit concerned and I wonder if we could arrange a call with someone from your team to help us decide if cerbos is a good match for us or not.
Some more context. Our product is a 10 year young SaaS application with a python django monolithic backend. we have multiple "dimensions" affecting a user's permission to resources or functionality : • the user's subscription plan • trial status • access status regarding a project or media file (owner, team member, shared) • sharing • application access (our website, integration...) • platform (self serve or enterprise platform, we have 2 system deployments) • role of user in team, organisation • etc. We would like our new "permissions engine" to be both now usable within our monolith as well as in new microservices that we started to develop.

Hi @Sven Hoffmann These all are use cases we had to face in the past in our previous SaaS company and are very much so things we’d have loved to have Cerbos at the time for. Do any of these times work for you for a call? https://calendly.com/d/ck3-pkv-wq9/1-hour We can go over all the requirements and would love to help you with sample policies in our playground.

Thanks Emre, sounds great. I am syncing up with my team, we'll prepare our requirements, and will schedule a meeting.

Looking forward to it.
