Role Managers
The role manager is used to manage the RBAC role hierarchy (user-role mapping) in Casbin. A role manager can retrieve the role data from Casbin policy rules or external sources such as LDAP, Okta, Auth0, Azure AD, etc. We support different implementations of a role manager. To keep light-weight, we don't put role manager code in the main library (except the default role manager). A complete list of Casbin role managers is provided as below. Any 3rd-party contribution on a new role manager is welcomed, please inform us and I will put it in this list:)
| Role manager | Author | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default Role Manager (built-in) | Casbin | Supports role hierarchy stored in Casbin policy |
| Session Role Manager | EDOMO Systems | Supports role hierarchy stored in Casbin policy, with time-range-based sessions |
| Okta Role Manager | Casbin | Supports role hierarchy stored in Okta |
| Auth0 Role Manager | Casbin | Supports role hierarchy stored in Auth0's Authorization Extension |
For developers: all role managers must implement the RoleManager interface. Session Role Manager can be used as a reference implementation.
