Express Acl

Overview:

Express ACL (express-acl) is a tool that allows you to manage access requests to your Express server by implementing ACL (Access Control Lists) rules. These rules determine which user groups have access to specific resources and the type of access they are granted. By checking the ACL policy corresponding to a resource, express-acl ensures that requests have the necessary access permissions.

Features:

• ACL Rules: Define how express-acl handles requests to your server against specific resources.
• JSON or YAML Syntax: ACL rules are defined using JSON or YAML syntax.
• Resources Property Update: Transitioned from using strings to routes to support subrouting functionality.

Summary:

Express ACL provides a powerful way to control access to your Express server through the use of ACL rules. By defining roles and policies in a configuration file, you can easily manage access levels for different user groups. The transition to using routes in the resources property allows for more granular control over access to specific endpoints. This tool is essential for enhancing the security of your Express server and protecting it from unauthorized access.
