Before you connect

Questions about Permify.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can the Permify MCP help me audit user permissions?

Yes, it allows your agent to see every subject that has a relationship with a specific entity. This makes it easy to spot unauthorized access or find out exactly who can see your data.

How does Permify MCP handle multiple clients?

It manages isolated environments for different clients. You can use the agent to create, list, and delete these tenants so each client stays completely separated.

Can I use this to update my security rules without a redeploy?

Yes, you can use the agent to partially update your authorization models. This means you can change specific rules on the fly without having to push new code to your servers.

Does Permify MCP support complex access controls like ReBAC?

It's designed specifically for that. It handles relationship-based and attribute-based access control, letting you define complex rules like 'users can edit documents if they are the owner or a member of the team.'

Can my agent check permissions for a large group of users?

Yes, the Connector includes a way to perform bulk permission checks. This is perfect for verifying that a whole group of users has the correct access rights at once.

Is it easy to see who has access to a specific resource?

Absolutely. You can ask your agent to expand the permissions for any entity, and it will list every person or group that has a relationship with it.

Can I check permissions for multiple users or resources at once?

Yes! Use the bulk_check_permissions capability. It allows you to send a list of check requests in a single call, making it efficient for auditing complex views or batch processing.

How do I update only a small part of my authorization model?

You can use the partial_write_schema capability. Instead of overwriting the entire model, you provide a map of entity updates to modify specific parts of your schema.

Is it possible to manage isolated environments for different customers?

Absolutely. Use the create_tenant capability to spin up new isolated authorization silos. You can then use list_tenants to keep track of all active environments.
