IAM

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

  1. Streamlined Authentication & Authorization

    • Provide pre-configured modules (e.g., @kurocado-studio/auth-zero) to handle sign-in flows and user sessions without repetitive boilerplate.

  2. Centralized User Management

    • Offer a unified interface for managing user accounts, roles, and permissions across multiple projects and services.

  3. Rapid Integration

    • Reduce onboarding time for new projects or client engagements by supplying straightforward examples, templates, and docs for integrating IAM.

Use Cases

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  1. Auth0 Module MVP

    • Publish the core packages/auth0 module with default login flows & universal login support.

  2. Extended Provider Support

    • Provide a flexible, pluggable architecture for future identity providers.

  3. Access Control

    • Introduce more granular role-based access control (RBAC).

  4. Client Forking & Customization

    • Document how clients can fork or overlay custom logic, or configurations for their own identity needs (e.g., @CLIENT_ORG/iam).
