Resource Types

Define a catalog of what your application exposes. Resource types appear as a dropdown in the dashboard when creating permissions — no more typos.

How it works

Register resource types for each domain object in your app: documents, billing, contacts, reports. When creating a permission, pick from the list instead of typing the resource name.

Resource types are informational — they don't enforce anything at evaluation time. A permission with resource: "documents" is valid with or without a documents resource type.

In the dashboard

Navigate to Resources. Click New Resource Type, give it an ID and name, and create. The next time you create a permission, it appears in the resource dropdown.
