Enterprise customers demand granular access control -- who can view which data, who can edit it, who can delete it, and who can share it. A simple admin/user role model breaks down as your product grows. We build flexible RBAC systems with role hierarchies, resource-level permissions, API-level authorization, comprehensive audit trails, and self-service permission management for tenant admins.

Flexible, auditable access control that scales from startups to enterprise organizations
Define roles in a hierarchical tree where child roles inherit permissions from parent roles. An Organization Admin inherits all Team Lead permissions, which in turn inherit all Member permissions. Custom roles can be created by tenant admins with any combination of available permissions, enabling each customer to model their unique organizational structure.
Permissions go beyond page-level access to individual resources. Control who can view, create, edit, delete, share, and export specific records -- projects, documents, dashboards, reports. Resource-level permissions support ownership-based rules (users can edit their own records) and team-based rules (team members can view team resources).
Every API endpoint enforces authorization checks using middleware that validates the caller's permissions against the requested action and resource. Authorization is enforced consistently whether access comes through the UI, API, webhooks, or background jobs. Rate limiting and scope restrictions are tied to API key permissions.
Every permission check, role assignment, access grant, and access denial is logged with timestamp, user identity, resource identifier, action attempted, and result. Audit logs are immutable, searchable, and exportable for compliance reporting. Alerts for unusual access patterns like bulk data exports or repeated access denials.
Permissions are evaluated at runtime against the current user context, role assignments, resource ownership, and attribute-based conditions. Support for time-based permissions (temporary access grants), conditional permissions (access only during business hours), and delegated permissions (managers granting access on behalf of their team).
Self-service admin interface where tenant administrators create custom roles, assign permissions using a visual permission matrix, manage user role assignments, and review access audit logs. Bulk role assignment for team onboarding, role templates for common configurations, and a permission diff view showing exactly what changes when a role is modified.

Flexible engagement models for SaaS access control systems
"We were losing enterprise deals because our permission model was admin-or-nothing. Edesy built a granular RBAC system with custom roles in 5 weeks. Our first enterprise customer configured 12 custom roles for their 200-person team and said it was the most flexible permission system they had seen in a SaaS product."

"The audit trail Edesy built saved us during a SOC 2 audit. The auditors asked us to prove that user X could not access resource Y, and we pulled the exact permission check log with timestamps showing every denied access attempt. The auditor said it was the most thorough access control logging they had reviewed."

"Permission checks used to take 200-300ms per API call because we queried the database for every request. Edesy rebuilt the authorization engine with Redis-cached permission sets and hierarchical evaluation. Permission checks now take under 3ms and our API response times improved by 40% across the board."
