For many years, building a SaaS application has centred around the B2C<\/span> model, with CIAM<\/span> integration mostly concerning the process of User Authentication<\/span> and Consent<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more recent times, the value of the B2B<\/span> market and the opportunity to capitalise on a more standard approach for Access Control<\/a> have led many of the third-party CIAM vendors down the route of adding support for full-spectrum Authorization<\/a> into their SaaS solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst vendors like Okta have recently released reference applications like SaaStart<\/strong><\/a>, showcasing Auth0 features designed for B2B<\/span> application integration, together with Fine-Grained Authorization (a.k.a. Okta FGA<\/a><\/strong>), these are hosted services that can be less than cost-effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name’s Peter Fernandez,<\/span> and in a recent article (below), I wrote about using open-source alternatives to reduce costs by capitalising on the infrastructure already likely to be a requirement for the SaaS solution you’re building. In this article, I’m going to discuss how I’m using WordPress, OpenFGA, and Keycloak to do just that \u2014 or as I like to call it, “Cooking by WOK” \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
