Case Study: Cribl achieves scalable fine-grained access control with Auth0 FGA

Cribl uses Auth0 FGA to support robust IAM requirements for Fortune 1000 clients

Cribl, the Data Engine for IT and Security, needed a scalable way to meet strict IAM requirements for Fortune 1000 customers across multiple cloud workspaces. Its existing RBAC approach did not scale for fine-grained, relationship-based access control and would have required hundreds of roles per workspace, making authorization too complex and slow.

Cribl chose Auth0 Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) to centralize and simplify authorization across products and workspaces. With Auth0, Cribl can quickly set up new workspaces and products with flexible access models, achieving zero downtime and an 80% improvement in developer productivity when configuring authorization for new products, while reducing setup work from months to weeks.
