SpiceDB Docs

Learn Key Concepts

Define a Permissions Schema

Define types of objects, how those objects relate to one another, and the permissions that can be computed from those relationships.

Integrate Your Applications

Integrate with your application using official and community supported client libraries or make requests to the HTTP API endpoint.

Test and Deploy

Use provided tooling to develop and validate schema changes. Use the built-in testing server to run real API calls against test data.

Define Authorization
as Schema

Design tailored authorization systems by defining relationships, permissions based on those relationships, and bits of policy called Caveats.
