NextLabs Authorization Management separates policy management from the application lifecycle. It externalizes access control decisions to a decision point (decision is based on the data they want to access and the action they want to perform) that is decoupled from the application. The system interrogates an information point to determine a user's access rights based on a centrally managed policy. Authorization and access rights to an organization's network or assets are granted dynamically in real-time based on user, data and environmental attributes. Externalized authorization allows for the management of permissions to multiple systems from a single platform, streamlining the access process and reducing administrative burden. Access control to file shares, network subnets, document repositories and applications can now be made in real time by a centrally-managed decision point, using attributes in a user's directory entry.

PlainID provides both Business AND Admin teams with a simple and intuitive means to control their organization’s entire authorization process, all based on your own business logic. The platform allows you to implement literally any kind of rules you could imagine, all without coding, and all in fine grained detail.
