Description

Hi. Currently there's no AuthZ support in kit. Only AuthN exists. Casbin is a popular and powerful authorization (AuthZ) library that supports models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC. I think we can add it here?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study Casbin library and its integration patterns for Go microservices. Review existing AuthN in go kit/kit for extension points. Implement a middleware that uses Casbin enforcer to check permissions based on user roles and resources.
