Permit IO Challenge Entry: Tool Access Panel

This is a submission for the Permit.io Authorization Challenge: Permissions Redefined What I Built This project is a lightweight Internal Tools Access Panel — a dashboard interface that securely routes employees to internal tools like HRMS, Sales CRM, or CI/CD pipelines, based on their role within the organization. The problem it solves is twofold: Over-permissioned access: Without RBAC, internal systems often expose all tools to every employee. Complex onboarding: Managing access manually per user or embedding authorization logic deep in every tool becomes hard to maintain. With this panel, companies can: ✅ Centralize internal tool access ✅ Restrict access to only the tools users need ✅ Offload role/policy management to Permit.io Key Ideas: Simple Auth: Login is managed via a static credential list (for demo purposes). Dynamic Access: Tool access is determined by role-to-resource policies defined in Permit.io. Permission Enforcement: Each tool route validates access using Permit's PDP (Policy Decision Point). Scalable Setup: Easy to extend for SSO, real users, and dynamic resources. This project is intentionally kept minimal and readable as an ideal entry point for developers exploring Permit.io in real-world role-based access control scenarios.

Permit IO Challenge Entry: Tool Access Panel

This is a submission for the Permit.io Authorization Challenge: Permissions Redefined

What I Built

This project is a lightweight Internal Tools Access Panel — a dashboard interface that securely routes employees to internal tools like HRMS, Sales CRM, or CI/CD pipelines, based on their role within the organization.

The problem it solves is twofold:

Over-permissioned access: Without RBAC, internal systems often expose all tools to every employee.
Complex onboarding: Managing access manually per user or embedding authorization logic deep in every tool becomes hard to maintain.

With this panel, companies can:

✅ Centralize internal tool access
✅ Restrict access to only the tools users need
✅ Offload role/policy management to Permit.io

Key Ideas:

Simple Auth: Login is managed via a static credential list (for demo purposes).
Dynamic Access: Tool access is determined by role-to-resource policies defined in Permit.io.
Permission Enforcement: Each tool route validates access using Permit's PDP (Policy Decision Point).
Scalable Setup: Easy to extend for SSO, real users, and dynamic resources.

This project is intentionally kept minimal and readable as an ideal entry point for developers exploring Permit.io in real-world role-based access control scenarios.
