What is Dynamic Authorization?
Dynamic Authorization moves beyond traditional access models where permissions are assigned once and rarely reviewed, instead making authorization decisions in real time based on the current context of every access request. At the moment a user attempts to access a resource, the system evaluates a rich set of attributes including the user’s current role, their location, the device they are using, the sensitivity of the data, and the time of day to decide whether access should be granted, denied, or escalated for approval. This approach is central to Zero Trust architecture and ensures that access decisions remain accurate and appropriate even as users’ roles, devices, and circumstances change throughout the day.
