This post provides a detailed tutorial on implementing Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC) in a Ruby on Rails API. It discusses how to transition from Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to ReBAC, and introduces Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA) using OpenFGA, an open-source tool inspired by Google's Zanzibar. The tutorial covers setting up the environment, defining necessary relationships, updating the database schema, and integrating OpenFGA to handle authorization checks. It also includes code examples for various parts of the implementation process.
