ABAC and CBAC model

OpenFoundry already shows signs of moving beyond RBAC-only authorization.

Repository signals

auth-service contains explicit domain modules for:

  • rbac
  • abac
  • broader security modeling

Its migration history also references markings, CBAC-style controls, and restricted views.

Why this matters

For an ontology-driven and data-sensitive platform, role checks alone are usually not enough.

Attribute- and context-aware access control becomes important for:

  • tenant-aware experiences
  • sensitive operational data
  • object- and property-level restrictions
  • conditional action execution
