How I implemented Access Approval to Our Open Source Project

This post discusses the implementation of a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model and Request Access Approval system in an open-source notes-sharing application called Makaut Buddy. The author explains the importance of authorization, the difference between authentication and authorization, and provides a step-by-step guide to setting up RBAC using Permit.io. Key steps include defining roles and permissions, creating resources, assigning actions to roles, and configuring backend APIs. Additionally, it covers how to implement a system where users can request role upgrades, and admins can approve or deny these requests.
