Managing User Access
In this guide you will learn how to grant a user access to a particular object.
Granting access with a relationship tuple is a core part of Okta FGA. Without any relationship tuples, any check will fail. You should use:
- authorization model to represent what relations are possible between the users and objects in your system
- relationship tuples to represent the facts about the relationships between users and objects in your system.
Before You Start
In order to understand this guide correctly you must be familiar with some Okta FGA Concepts and know how to develop the things that we will list below.
Assume that you have the following authorization model.
You have a type called tweet
that can have a reader
.
You have a type called
tweet
that can have a reader
.- DSL
- JSON
model
schema 1.1
type user
type tweet
relations
define reader: [user]
{
"schema_version": "1.1",
"type_definitions": [
{
"type": "user"
},
{
"type": "tweet",
"relations": {
"reader": {
"this": {}
}
},
"metadata": {
"relations": {
"reader": {
"directly_related_user_types": [
{
"type": "user"
}
]
}
}
}
}
]
}
In addition, you will need to know the following:
Direct Access
You need to know how to create an authorization model and create a relationship tuple to grant a user access to an object. Learn more →
Okta FGA Concepts
- A Type: a class of objects that have similar characteristics
- A User: an entity in the system that can be related to an object
- A Relation: is a string defined in the type definition of an authorization model that defines the possibility of a relationship between an object of the same type as the type definition and a user in the system
- An Object: represents an entity in the system. Users' relationships to it can be define through relationship tuples and the authorization model
- A Relationship Tuple: a grouping consisting of a user, a relation and an object stored in Okta FGA
Step By Step
01. Adding Direct Relationship
For our application, we will give user Anne the reader
relationship to a particular tweet
. To do so we add a tuple as follows:
[// Anne can read tweet:1
{
"_description": "Anne can read tweet:1",
"user": "user:anne",
"relation": "reader",
"object": "tweet:1"
}]
With the above, we have added a direct relationship between Anne and tweet:1
. When we call the Check API to see if Anne has a reader
relationship, Okta FGA will say yes.
