Kurocado Studio IAM provides a centralized solution for authentication, authorization, and user management across internal and client-facing applications. It leverages integrations to simplify secure sign-ups, logins, and role-based access control (RBAC).
Objectives
Streamlined Authentication & Authorization
Provide pre-configured modules (e.g., @kurocado-studio/auth-zero) to handle sign-in flows and user sessions without repetitive boilerplate.
Centralized User Management
Offer a unified interface for managing user accounts, roles, and permissions across multiple projects and services.
Rapid Integration
Reduce onboarding time for new projects or client engagements by supplying straightforward examples, templates, and docs for integrating IAM.
Use Cases
Internal Systems & Microservices
Simplify authentication flows within Kurocado Studio’s internal tools (e.g., dashboards, internal APIs) by relying on a single source of truth for user data.
Client Collaboration
The IAM solution will serve as a transparent resource for clients. Clients may fork, customize, and publish their own versions of the IAM package (e.g., @OUR_ORG/CLIENT_NAME_IAM on NPM), ensuring they can adapt the system to their unique business requirements.
Scope & Constraints
In Scope
Authentication Modules & Adapters
Standard or reusable modules for popular identity providers like Auth0.
RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)
Configurable roles and permissions for diverse project requirements.
Docs & Examples
Guides, code examples, and best practices for implementing IAM in Node.js/TypeScript apps.
Constraints
Third-Party Integrations
Dependent on external uptime and API changes of Auth0.
Key Milestones
Auth0 Module MVP
Publish the core
packages/auth0module with default login flows & universal login support.
Extended Provider Support
Provide a flexible, pluggable architecture for future identity providers.
Access Control
Introduce more granular role-based access control (RBAC).
Client Forking & Customization
Document how clients can fork or overlay custom logic, or configurations for their own identity needs (e.g.,
@CLIENT_ORG/iam).
Success Criteria
Security & Reliability
Zero Critical Vulnerabilities: Regularly scan with security tools; no open severe CVEs.
Developer Adoption
Reduced Integration Time: Teams can implement basic sign-up and login flows within 15 minutes using the provided modules.
Client Engagement: External clients find it easy to adopt or fork the IAM system, customizing it for their branding or domain.
Continuous Improvement
Versioned Releases: Frequent updates (patches and minor versions) to address bugs, enhancements, and new identity provider integrations.
Feedback Loop: Encourage issues and pull requests, ensuring consistent iteration based on user or client feedback.
