It discusses the challenges of implementing these in distributed systems, contrasting with simpler monolithic systems. Various authorization models like RBAC, ReBAC, and ABAC are explained using a fictional application, RealGuard.io, to illustrate the complexities and potential solutions in both monolithic and microservices environments.
