# Authorization and access management

Fine-grained access control built for your users, teams and products

Free plan includes **unlimited MAUs**

## Why Authgear

With growing user bases and complex apps, managing who can do what is critical.

Roles & Groups let you shift from per-user permissions to a scalable model where you manage roles once, then assign at scale.

## Centralized Authorization with Roles and Groups

### Roles

Define roles and assign roles to users directly. Roles are included in UserInfo / JWT claims so your app has the context to enforce permissions.

### Groups

Create groups that bundle one or more roles. Add users to groups; they inherit the roles of that group. Simplifies bulk-permission management.

### Audit-ready

Manage roles/groups and see who has what role in a central place. Position for governance, compliance and least-privilege access as you scale.
