Congrats to the Permit.io Authorization Challenge Winners!

The results are in! We’re thrilled to announce the winners of the Permit.io Authorization Challenge.

This challenge invited developers to explore the future of access control by building applications that leverage Permit.io's powerful authorization-as-a-service platform. Participants chose from three prompts and showcased innovative approaches to managing authorization and access control in modern applications.

We reviewed medical systems, environment variable hosting services, hiring platforms, and more! There were so many fantastic submissions, and as always, it was very difficult to choose our winners. Participating in this challenge was no easy feat, so regardless of whether or not you win, we hope everyone is proud of what they accomplished.

Without further ado, our winners.

Congratulations To…

API-First Authorization Winner

@jamesrmoro brings access control to life with Castle of Keys, an interactive game that combines physical hardware with API-first authorization. Players assume roles like King or Cook and use RFID cards to navigate a castle, with access decisions powered by Permit.io's externalized policies.
