Flat RBAC Breaks
When Orgs Have
Structure
Canopy lets you model real organizational structure, regions, departments, teams, with permissions that inherit automatically. Start flat. Evolve without rebuilding.
Don't Build It Yourself
Skip months building roles, permissions, and edge cases you'll end up rewriting when your customers outgrow flat access.
Plug Into Real Structure
Start simple or model real org structure, regions, departments, teams, without rewriting your access model later.
Ship Faster
Focus on your product while Canopy handles access control, permission inheritance, and real-time evaluation.
Stay Flexible
Start flat, evolve into hierarchy, or revert anytime, without locking yourself into a brittle access model.
Not Just Auth: A Control Plane
Canopy is the layer between your product and your customers' organizational reality.
What Makes Canopy Different
Hierarchical RBAC
Assign roles once at the right level, and permissions automatically apply to every child node below.
Dynamic Permissions
Define your own permission model. Canopy stores, enforces, and evaluates it at runtime.
Scoped Visibility
Users only see what they're allowed to, scoped automatically based on role assignments in the tree.
Platform Completeness
OAuth2 & OIDC
Hosted login with PKCE, RS256 JWTs, and JWKS. Your app never needs to handle passwords.
API & Integrations
REST API, API keys, and webhooks: everything you need to integrate Canopy into your application.
Audit Logging
Every security-sensitive action is logged with actor, resource, and full context.
Start Simple. Grow Without Rebuilding.
You can use Canopy the same way you use flat RBAC today. As your product adds structure, your access model keeps working. No changes required.
Start with
- One organization
- Global roles
- Simple permission checks
Expand into
- Regions, departments, and teams
- Permissions that inherit automatically
- Access scoped to exactly where it should apply
