| summary | The website provides an overview of the Zanzibar system, which is used for global, consistent authorization in Google products like Docs and Slides. Zanzibar replicates data globally using Google Spanner to ensure external consistency across all regions where Google's products operate. The content also includes information on related systems such as OpenFGA, Auth0's open-source authorization solution, Ory Keto, Cartas, and the development of Zanzibar from scratch by Oso. It encourages users to join their community for further learning about Zanzibar and its implementation in Google Docs, which models authorization using four relations: name (namespace), relation (editor or viewer), owner, and previewer. The system supports queries such as checking if a user is a specific type of entity for a given document, like Carl being a viewer of the doc:slides. |
