Hi @jfrolich,

There has been no activity lately - just wanted to check if the project is still active. Does it work well with Phoenix 1.3?

I am new to Elixir and looking for some reliable solutions for AuthN and AuthX. So far, narrowed down on using https://github.com/riverrun/phauxth for AuthN. It provides option for extending to role based authorization but am not keen on that. Comparing the available solutions for AuthX, Authorize seems to be adopting the philosophy that appeals to me the most and would like to use it in my next project.

I am have been working in RoR for long years and love https://github.com/makandra/consul - scope based authorization. I have used it for simple to pretty complex projects and it has always served well.

Cheers for all your efforts!

Hi,

It's still active and we have been using it in production with Phoenix 1.3. I think having a good DSL for authorization is indeed powerful, having a look at consul might be good to take inspiration from!

Authorize is simple a minimal "good enough" solution for our complex app with a lot of authorization rules as there wasn't yet a great one available in the ecosystem. Happy to look for ways to improve it.

Cheers,

Jaap
