Case Study: Cribl achieves scalable, fine-grained authorization with Okta Auth0 FGA

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

Cribl, the Data Engine for IT and Security, needed a more scalable way to handle identity and access management as its cloud platform added multiple workspaces. Its existing role-based access control approach could not support enterprise customers’ granular authorization needs, and managing as many as 400 roles per workspace would have been too complex. Cribl turned to Okta’s Auth0 Fine Grained Authorization (Auth0 FGA) to address the challenge.

With Okta’s Auth0 FGA, Cribl centralized and standardized authorization across products and workspaces, enabling fine-grained, relationship-based access control with minimal latency. The solution helped Cribl set up new workspaces instantly, achieve zero downtime, and improve developer productivity by 80% when setting up authorization for new products. What once took months of manual work now takes just weeks.
