Welcome to the Fine Grained Authorization Proposal for MongoDb.

This is a research project which aims to produce a prototype for the proposed architecture.

The idea is to provide an externalized and fine grained access control mechanism for the following reasons:

  • When access control decisions are to be made centrally and not distributed to every single application accessing the data.
  • To enforce the security policies seamlessly regardless of which application is accessing the data.
  • To achieve fine grained access control so that attribute level access control rules can be applied.

See The Architecture Page for a conceptual view.
