Authorization Platform - August 2022 Release
New Features:
Introduced Policy Authorization Agent (PAA)
Allows customers to easily create, manage and maintain their access Policies in a cloud-based Policy Administration Point (PAP), while running PDPs locally resulting in improved performance, increased security, increased agility.
Ability to use external data sources.
Data Authorizers
Ready-to-use Authorizers for a variety of 3rd party vendors.
Allows you to quickly enforce Access Policies by row-level, column-level, and cell-level access to data stored in Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and Denodo.
Visual Policy Map
Visual representation of the elements of a Policy, including Dynamic Groups, Conditions, Assets and Applications.
Enables you to easily identify WHO (Identities/Dynamic Groups) can do WHAT (Asset Types) and WHEN (Conditions).
Drill down capabilities on some elements to understand individual objects within the Policy.
Provide Deny Reason in the PDP Response
Now possible to see the reasons that a deny response might occur when calling the PDP (example: user not part of a Dynamic Group).
Used mainly for troubleshooting as well as providing better support for onboarding applications.
Enhanced Behavior:
Scopes a a Managed Object
Using Scopes, PDP Authorization responses can be focused on a set of Applications rather on all Policies in an Environment.
Scopes can now be managed in the Environment Settings screen.
Within each Scope, you can manage the Authorization keys.
