Authorization Platform - October 2022 Release

In this release, PlainID has focused on enhanced usability, new features and capabilities. We added support for more use cases and added more Authorizers.

What's New

A major new feature is the ability to leverage external Identity sources:

• Allows customers to easily define different external sources for Identity data, including LDAP, SCIM, JDBC, etc.

• Identity data can be combined from multiple sources: external, authorization request, and/or JWT. This enables you to expand the available information for a single identity type.

• Supports context-based decision which allows fetching identity data based on the request context.

Data Authorizers for MySQL and Trino

• Two new Data Authorizers are included in this release. The new Data Authorizers (for MySQL and Trino) increase the organization’s ability to leverage the Policy Resolution endpoint to receive fine-grained, identity-aware data access controls (including Row and Column Level filtering).

  • Trino Authorizer is offered as a Trino Plugin.

  • MySQL Authorizer is offered as a Network Proxy.

Usability Enhancements

• You can now create Asset Rulesets from the Policy Wizard.

• You can now navigate to Policy List Full View. 

• Supported operators for Dynamic Groups has been expanded.

• API Mapping Enhancement

  • You can now configure the REST API method when defining the Application API Mappers. This provides more control and flexibility when defining the API Access Policy building blocks.

  • You can select one or multiple REST methods.

• Delegated Access Management Privileges

  • You can now create Privileges Ruleset from the Availability Wizard.

  • The Privilege uniqueness check is based on all available attributes under the Privilege Type.
