Role-Based Access Control
Powerful and flexible permissions for your users
Enterprise-grade authorization for secure and scalable access management.
Access control
Granular, connected, secure
Granular
Fine-tuned access control with detailed roles and permissions, defined once and enforced everywhere your app checks.
Connected
Sync role assignments directly from a customer's identity provider over SCIM or SAML, so the org chart stays the source of truth.
Secure
Enforce a least-privilege access policy with org-scoped roles, so one customer's role model never leaks into another's.
Role-based permissions
Assign permissions to roles, not to people
Assign permissions to roles rather than individual users to simplify access control and reduce administrative overhead. Admin, Editor and Viewer are there on day one, and you can go further whenever you need to.
- Permissions like users:view, users:create, billing:manage and api:read
- Grouped into roles that mean something to the people using your product
- Changed centrally, with every session picking the change up
- Bring your roles: migrate an existing model with minimal changes and zero downtime
IdP role sync for customer growth
Let their directory decide who is an admin
Sync roles from identity provider groups to manage access across environments and the organization. Group sync works over SSO or SCIM, and keeps working as your customers grow.
- Map IdP groups such as Engineering, Support or Contractors onto your roles
- A promotion in their HR system becomes a permission change in your app
- Custom roles scoped to a single organization, so role sprawl stays contained
- Define a customer's specific permissions without affecting access for anyone else
Smarter roles in a fraction of the time
Authorization that arrives with the session
Everything you would otherwise build twice: once badly, and once again after the first enterprise security review.
Roles and permissions that fit your workflow
Check access without another round trip
The Paycux API brings Enterprise Ready features to your application. Permissions are included in the JWT, so you can check access levels at runtime without extra API calls.
1import { withAuth } from '@paycux/authkit-nextjs';2import { BillingInfo, BillingInfoNoPermission } from './billing-info';34export default async function BillingManagement() {5 const { permissions } = await withAuth();67 if (permissions?.includes('billing:manage')) {8 return <BillingInfo />;9 }1011 return <BillingInfoNoPermission />;12}
Transparent pricing
Priced by monthly active user
Role-Based Access Control is part of User Management, so it is priced with the people you already pay for rather than as a separate line item on the invoice.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I check a permission in my app?
Read it off the session. Permissions travel inside the access token, so a check is a local array lookup rather than a network call on every request.
Can each customer have their own roles?
Yes. Roles can be scoped to a single organization, so one customer can add a Reviewer role without every other tenant inheriting it. That scoping is what keeps role sprawl from becoming permanent.
What happens when a role changes mid-session?
The next token refresh carries the new permissions. For changes that must land immediately, revoke the session and the user is re-authorized on their next request.
Can roles come from the customer's identity provider?
Yes. Map their IdP groups onto your roles and assignments arrive over SSO or SCIM. Their IT team keeps managing access where they already manage it.
We already have a permission model. Do we throw it away?
No. Bring your existing roles and permissions across with minimal changes and no downtime, then move the enforcement points over at your own pace.
