## Overview

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/BbXEN5RND6s>" %}

Cerberus is our flagship product that abstracts away authorization in your apps / services and lets you focus on building great products.

With Cerberus, you set up static 'rules' that matches the domain of your services, then decorate your apps with them, and voila, you're done!\
Your end-users will be able to manage their own, roles and permissions, giving them full control over their own resources while you are alleviated of the headache of maintaining a complex authorization system.

Authorization can be performed on both frontend and backend with simple decorations, so, your UI will reflect what the user is really allowed to see and do, while on the backend, every user action can be checked for permission.
