Big ACL

What Big ACL can do?

Model and share Access Policy across teams

Big ACL helps you structure your authorization logic in a shared, consistent policy repository—ready for enforcement in any environment.

Consistent Authorization Management: Big ACL is a Policy Administration Platform. It enables simple, centralized management of application permissions (e.g., "who can access what, and under what conditions").

Big ACL supports many access control models - RBAC, ABAC and ReBAC - and authorization languages such as CEDAR and REGO.

However, detailed knowledge of these concepts and languages is not required.

the platform takes care of all the hard work for you!
One Policy, All Platforms: Big ACL supports leading policy languages and execution environments, enabling seamless integration with modern authorization stacks.

Policies written in natural language are translated into Rego for Open Policy Agent, CEDAR for AWS-native environments

Allowing teams to enforce consistent access logic across heterogeneous systems while maintaining compatibility with policy-as-code workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

What are the benefits?

Start regaining control over your authorizations.

One Source of Truth for All Teams

Big ACL is a collaborative platform for managing access rules in a single source of truth. Product, engineering, and security teams work from the same playbook—no more scattered policies or conflicting interpretations.

It improves visibility, consistency, and cross-team alignment.

Decoupling Policy from Application Logic

Traditionally, authorization and policy enforcement logic is embedded directly into the application codebase. Decoupling this logic from application code results in cleaner, more maintainable software.

Entity Schema for Coherent Access Rules

Big ACL is a policy modeling layer that turns human-readable authorization rules into standard policy languages like Cedar and Rego.

As you define rules, Big ACL also generates an entity schema — a shared, versioned map of your users, roles, resources, and their relationships. This schema provides the structure that keeps access rules coherent and aligned across teams and systems.

Every rule is validated against the schema before translation, ensuring consistency, preventing drift, and catching errors early in your workflow.

Schema-anchored Policy

Rule

A back-office user can validate a financial operation if they have the 'manager' role, the operation is associated with their assigned branch, and the operation's amount does not exceed the user's approval limit.
