Case Study: Zoom achieves sub-50ms permission checks at scale with AuthZed Dedicated

Zoom delivers sub-50ms permission checks with AuthZed

zoom, the video communications company, faced the challenge of unifying permissions across numerous third-party data sources for its new ZoomMate agentic search feature. Building and maintaining their own bespoke authorization system proved to be too complex and difficult to scale, which was a major blocker for the project. They turned to vendor AuthZed and its AuthZed Dedicated service for a solution.

AuthZed implemented a Zanzibar-based relationship-based access control (ReBAC) platform. The solution delivered sub-50ms permission checks at intense scale, meeting Zoom's performance requirements. For zoom, this resulted in a single, centralized platform for permissions management, significantly reduced operational overhead, and a faster time-to-ship for new application integrations.
