A comment on Launch HN: Warrant (YC S21) – Authorization and access control as a service.

Stuff like this is sorely needed. Glad to see people jumping on the problem. It would be nice if you also included all the UI components for managing all these permissions and users. E.g. you cover the model and all the UI upkeep and I just bolt it on to my app. The amount of man hours we have all spent reinventing the wheel on this area is mind blowing.

To echo the other commenter, I would strongly suggest offering a self hosted option. E.g. same IAC and your cloud but I can host a copy on my cloud.

We're working on the UIs portion over at Clerk (https://www.clerk.dev), however, we're not going all in on permission-ing and just giving folks enough "ABAC" so that we can actually power the UIs. I hope in the future we integrate with more powerful tools, such as warrant, to make this all more seamless :)

Completely agree re: UI components. As a full stack engineer, I personally dealt with the pain of permissions on the frontend and want to make things much easier than they are today. We've already started working on this. Our first foray into the idea is our self-service dashboard.[0][1]

Re: self-hosting, we're definitely looking into it and plan to have a solution for it soon. Thanks for the feedback!
