Enterprise identity, without the enterprise timeline.
JWT and session auth, SAML/OIDC single sign-on, and granular role-based access control — a complete identity stack, production-tested and ready to deploy in days.
Enterprise security without the enterprise timeline
Authentication and authorization are the most critical — and most frequently rebuilt — parts of any application. Getting them wrong means security vulnerabilities; getting them right from scratch takes months. This module provides a complete identity management stack: authentication, single sign-on, and granular role-based access control — all production-tested and ready to deploy.
Features
Four layers of identity, one coherent system.
Authentication
JWT token-based auth with access/refresh token rotation; session-based auth for traditional web applications; multi-factor authentication (MFA) with TOTP and SMS; password policies configurable per tenant or organization; and brute-force protection with rate limiting and account lockout.
Single sign-on (SSO)
SAML 2.0 integration for enterprise identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin); OIDC/OAuth 2.0 for social and enterprise login (Google, Microsoft, GitHub); just-in-time provisioning that auto-creates user accounts on first SSO login; and both SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows.
Role-based access control (RBAC)
Hierarchical roles with inheritance (Admin → Manager → User); granular permissions at the object and field level; permission groups for managing access across teams; API-level enforcement via decorators and middleware for DRF views; and UI-level enforcement via React hooks and components for conditional rendering.
Security controls
An audit trail for all auth events (login, logout, permission changes); session management with view and revoke of active sessions; IP allowlisting for admin and sensitive endpoints — designed to support ISO 27001-aligned security controls.
Technical Details
| Component | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Backend | Django, djangorestframework-simplejwt, python-saml |
| API | DRF with custom permission classes and authentication backends |
| Frontend | React context + hooks for auth state, route guards, permission checks |
| Storage | PostgreSQL for users/roles, Redis for token blacklisting |
| Standards | OWASP best practices, SAML 2.0, OIDC, OAuth 2.0 |
Integration Time
Typically 3–7 days for core auth and RBAC. SSO configuration timing varies by identity provider and your required security controls.
Pairs Well With
Multi-Tenant SaaS — tenant-scoped auth and permissions.
User Management — user profiles and invitation workflows.
Audit Log — complete auth event logging.
Frequently asked questions
How long does integration take?
Typically 3–7 days for core auth and RBAC. SSO configuration timing varies by identity provider and your required security controls.
Which identity providers does SSO support?
SAML 2.0 for enterprise identity providers such as Okta, Azure AD, and OneLogin, plus OIDC/OAuth 2.0 for Google, Microsoft, and GitHub. Both SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows are supported, with just-in-time provisioning that auto-creates user accounts on first SSO login.
How is RBAC enforced?
Hierarchical roles with inheritance (Admin → Manager → User) and granular permissions at the object and field level — enforced in the API with DRF decorators and middleware, and in the UI with React hooks and components for conditional rendering.
What security controls are included?
An audit trail of all auth events, session management with view and revoke, IP allowlisting for admin and sensitive endpoints, MFA with TOTP and SMS, and brute-force protection with rate limiting and account lockout — designed to support ISO 27001-aligned security controls following OWASP best practices.
