# Authentication & Authorization Implementation Patterns

Get login and permissions right the first time

## What this does

Deciding who someone is and what they are allowed to do is easy to get subtly wrong, and the consequences are bad. This covers the established patterns - JWT, OAuth2, session management, role-based access control - for building access control you can rely on. Reach for it when adding auth or when something in it is misbehaving.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Implement authentication for an application
- Set up roles and permissions
- Secure an API
