See all- DevOps KC: Collaboration Is More Than a Name ChangeTEKsystems, Overland Park, KS
You saw the lightning, but now let’s listen for the thunder. Curtis is back to expand on his lightning talk from DevOpsDays KC. DevOps is more than just a name, and changing your name won’t fix any underlying issues you might have within your teams. Let’s talk about some conversations you should be having and processes to put in your SDLC to really improve your DevOps practices and flow within your organization.

- DevOps KC: Fall into ReBAC and Permissions-as-a-ServiceTEKsystems, Overland Park, KS
With the leaves (hopefully) beginning to change and the weather cooling, join us for our September Meetup! We'll be joined by Ben Dechrai who will be talking to us about "Fine Grained Authorisation with Relationship-Based Access Control". Here's the abstract for the talk:
Who can tag me in a post? If I move this file to another folder, who now has access? If my owner breaks up with his friend, will I still get a bone?
Whether you're a human, or a dog, let's face it, authorisation is hard. Role-based access control is a great starting point but hard to scale. Attribute-based access control scales better, but neither are much good at answering more complex conditions, like whether friends-of-friends can read your posts, or knowing if your dental hygiene is going to suffer. For such situations, we generally have to wrap this up into business logic.
This is where relationship-based access control (ReBAC) comes in, offering a nuanced approach to accessing resources without codifying that into the applications.
In this session, we'll look at how to define these relationships, experience live demos, and discover how we can deploy our own fine-grained authorisation service. Expect some tail-wagging insights and a few laughs as we explore access control from a canine's point of view.
