Authorization Hub

Centralized Authorization Management combines GitHub for policy-as-code, Kubernetes for deployment, and IAM for governance in a single authorization control plane.

Author Access Policies as Code

Write fine-grained access policies in ALFA, a language close to natural language, using the built-in editor.

Manage Every Attribute Source

Define the attributes that describe users, resources, actions, and context, then map them to the systems that already hold them.

Test, Deploy, and Govern Access

Trace and test policies before release, deploy configuration to your decision services, and run access reviews from one place.

What the Authorization Hub Is

The Control Plane for Policies, Attributes, and Lifecycle

The Hub is the Axiomatics Authorization Platform's control plane where you manage policies, attributes, and the full authorization lifecycle.

It replaces scattered spreadsheets, code comments, and tribal knowledge with one governed source.
It turns new access requirements into a policy change, not another developer ticket and release.
It gives you central visibility, so proving who can access what is a query, not a manual exercise.

Core Functions

Policy Authoring

Write policies in ALFA using a web-based editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, and real-time validation, or visualize policy structure on an interactive canvas that stays in sync with your code.

Deployment Management

Bundle policies, attributes, and connectors into a domain, then package, validate, and promote it through CI/CD using Axiomatics' Gradle-based policy DevOps tool, to your authorization services.

Attribute Management

Define and map the attributes that describe users, resources, actions, and context to their real sources, such as LDAP, Entra ID, SCIM, and databases, so policies stay accurate as your environment evolves.

Team Collaboration

See every change your team makes to policies, attributes, and connectors in a shared activity feed, with safeguards that flag conflicting edits before anything is silently overwritten.

Policy Testing

Catch conflicts before they reach production. Test policies with standard tooling and trace every evaluation to see exactly why a decision was permitted or denied.

Private Projects

Work in isolated project workspaces with their own granular role-based access control, so teams manage their own policies without stepping on each other.

What Is the Axiomatics Authorization Hub, and How Does It Work?

Talk to an Expert

One Control Plane for Your Entire Authorization Policy Lifecycle

The Authorization Hub is the control plane for Axiomatics: one place to manage policies, attributes, users, and configuration for your entire authorization program. Built cloud-native for Kubernetes, it consolidates capabilities once split across separate tools into a single, API-driven control plane, deployed in hot-cold architectures for continuous uptime and consistent operations across every environment.

The Hub covers the full authorization lifecycle: define requirements, map attributes, author policies in ALFA using a web-based editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, and real-time validation, test for conflicts, and deploy with one click. A canvas view lets you visualize and navigate the same policy structure without reading ALFA, staying in sync with the code in real time.

Built to Feel as Familiar as the Tools Your Developers Use Daily

Think GitHub for policy-as-code and version control, Kubernetes for cloud-native deployment and scaling, and IAM for governance and access reviews. The Authorization Hub brings all three together into one platform built specifically for authorization.

Policy Information Points (PIP)

Pull Live Attributes From the Systems That Already Hold Them

Attribute connectors fill the PIP role, bridging your data sources and the Policy Decision Point (PDP).

Identity and Governance

Pull role and identity data from IGA tools like SailPoint, Saviynt, and Microsoft Entra ID Governance, and connect to SCIM endpoints for user metadata.

Authentication

Consume user claims, including role, from providers like Okta, Ping Identity, and Entra ID, and parse JWT or OAuth claims as attributes at decision time.

Databases and Data Catalogs

Fetch attribute values directly from SQL databases, tables, and data catalogs, the same connector pattern used for LDAP and HTTP sources.

SIEM and Security Context

Pull risk scores and security signals from your SIEM, so a flagged device or session can trigger a deny in real time.

Relevant Use Cases

Use case

Eliminate Role Explosion with Policy-driven Authorization

Reduce role complexity, simplify access management, and enforce least-privilege access with dynamic, fine-grained authorization.

Use case

Minimize the Impact of Identity Breaches with Policy-driven Authorization

Reduce standing privileges, limit lateral movement, and enforce least-privilege access with dynamic authorization.

FAQs

What is the Authorization Hub?

It's the control plane of the Axiomatics platform, where you define attributes, author policies in ALFA, and deploy configuration to your decision services.

Do developers need to learn a new language?

ALFA is designed to read close to natural language and resembles Java and C#, so most developers pick it up quickly using the built-in web editor or their own IDE.

What is Policy Insights, and how is it different from testing?

Policy Insights answers real-world access questions, like which employees can view a document, using your live, deployed policies. See it in the documentation.

How does the Hub connect to our attribute sources?

You map attributes to directories like LDAP, Entra ID, and SCIM, as well as databases and APIs, so every policy evaluates against live, accurate data, filling the Policy Information Point role defined in NIST SP 800-162.

How does the Hub fit into our CI/CD pipeline?

Policies can be tested, packaged into a domain, and promoted through your existing CI/CD tooling, right alongside your application releases.
