The systems we build at AuthZed are the direct result of feedback from our community and customers. Because security is the core of our flagship product, SpiceDB, we take feedback on this topic very seriously. We’ve heard you, and today we’re proud to introduce a better way to secure AuthZed customers’ client applications accessing the SpiceDB API: **Fine-Grained Access Management** (FGAM).
