Amazon Verified Permissions now supports policy store aliases and named policies and policy templates Today, AWS announces support for policy store aliases and named policies and policy templates in Amazon Verified Permissions, simplifying multi-tenant deployments and day-to-day policy management. Amazon Verified Permissions is a fine-grained authorization service that helps you manage and enforce permissions across your applications using Cedar policies. These new capabilities eliminate the need to maintain separate mapping tables for associating tenant identifiers with policy store IDs or tracking individual policy and template IDs. With policy store aliases, multi-tenant application developers can assign a human-readable alias based on a tenant identifier and use it in any API call, removing the need for a lookup table. Similarly, named policies and policy templates let you reference policies by meaningful names instead of system-generated IDs, making it easier to manage authorization logic as your application grows. Amazon Verified Permissions policy store aliases and named policies and templates are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Verified Permissions is available. For a full list of supported Regions, see Amazon Verified Permissions endpoints and quotas. To get started, see Policy store aliases and Creating static policies in the Amazon Verified Permissions User Guide, or visit the Amazon Verified Permissions API Reference.

🆕 Amazon Verified Permissions now supports policy store aliases, named policies, and templates, simplifying multi-tenant deployments and management. Available in all AWS Regions. For details, see the User Guide and API Reference.

Express.js developers can now add authorization in minutes with Amazon Verified Permissions Today, AWS announces the release of @verifiedpermissions/authorization-clients-js, an open source package that enables developers to implement authorization in their Express.js web application APIs in minutes. This simplifies development and improves application security by significantly reducing the custom authorization code compared to traditional approaches where authorization logic was embedded into the application. With this package, developers of Express.js applications can move authorization logic to Cedar policies which are managed outside code. For example, a pet store application can restrict API access based on user roles, allowing administrators full access while limiting customers to view-only operations, all without embedding complex authorization logic in application code. As your application evolves, you can easily extend these permissions, such as allowing employees to create and update pets but not delete them, by simply adding a new policy without modifying a single line of application code. Amazon Verified Permissions is a scalable permissions management and fine-grained authorization service for the applications that you build. The integration follows a straightforward workflow: developers generate a Cedar schema for their Express.js application, create authorization policies defining access rules, and add a middleware component to their Express application. When users make API requests, the middleware automatically validates authorization with Verified Permissions before processing continues. The @verifiedpermissions/authorization-clients-js package is available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license and distributed through NPM. This integration is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Verified Permissions is supported with no additional charges beyond standard Verified Permissions pricing. To get started, follow the ExpressJS blog or visit the https://github.com/verifiedpermissions/authorization-clients-js.

Amazon Verified Permissions now supports the Cedar JSON entity format Amazon Verified Permissions now supports the same JSON format for entity and context data, as the Cedar SDK. Developers can use this simpler format for authorization requests. This aligns the Amazon Verified Permissions API more closely with the open source Cedar SDK, and simplifies moving from the SDK to Amazon Verified Permissions or vice versa. Amazon Verified Permissions is a permissions management and fine-grained authorization service for the applications that you build. Using Cedar, an expressive and analyzable open-source policy language, developers and admins can define policy-based access controls using roles and attributes for more granular, context-aware access control. For example, an HR application might call Amazon Verified Permissions (AVP) to determine if Alice is permitted to access Bob’s performance evaluation, given that she is in the HR Managers group. Customers can use Cedar JSON format to pass entity data describing the principal (Alice) and the resource (Bob’s performance evaluation). This change is available in all AWS regions supported by Amazon Verified Permissions. The service will continue to support the old format, and so the change does not break existing application integrations. To learn more about using the Cedar JSON format, see Cedar JSON entity in the Cedar user guide and the Verified Permissions user guide.

Amazon Verified Permissions launches new API to get multiple policies Amazon Verified Permissions has launched a new API called batchGetPolicies. Customers can now make a single API call that returns multiple policies, for example to populate a list of policies that apply to a specific principal or resource. Amazon Verified Permissions is a permissions management and fine-grained authorization service for the applications that you build. Amazon Verified Permissions uses the Cedar policy language to enable developers and admins to define policy-based access controls based on roles and attributes. For example, a patient management application might call Amazon Verified Permissions (AVP) to determine if Alice is permitted access to Bob’s patient records. The new API accepts up to 100 policy IDs and returns the corresponding set of policies, from across one or more policy stores. This simplifies the integration and reduces latency. Using the API reduces the number of calls that an application needs to make to Verified Permissions. For example, when building a permissions management UX that lists Cedar policies, the application now needs to make only one call to get 50 policies, rather than making 50 calls. This feature is available in all regions where Verified Permissions is available. Pricing is based on the number of policies requested. For more information on pricing visit Amazon Verified Permissions Pricing – AWS - Amazon Web Services. For more information on the service visit Fine-Grained Authorization - Amazon Verified Permissions - AWS.
