Authorization and Policy Scopes for Phoenix Apps
While it is definitely possible to roll out something by hand, it usually makes sense not to reinvent the wheel if well-maintained and tested libraries are available. Canada and Bodyguard are two of the more popular ones that I have seen in the community.

10 Years(-Ish) of Elixir
There are packages on Hex that haven't been updated in a long time but still work perfectly (Canada, for example: https://github.com/jarednorman/canada). Elixir itself doesn't change much... in fact there's no plans for a 2.0 on the horizon, so the fact that packages don't change often isn't a big deal if they still do what they say they do and aren't hurting for more features.
What are some alternatives?
bodyguard - Simple authorization conventions for Phoenix apps
openmaize - No longer maintained - was an Authentication library for Plug-based applications in Elixir
authorize - Rule based authorization for Elixir
Phauxth - Not actively maintained - Authentication library for Phoenix, and other Plug-based, web applications
policy_wonk - Elixir authorization and resource loading in Plug form for Phoenix
sheriff - Build simple and robust authorization systems with just Elixir and Plug
terminator - 🛡 Modern elixir ACL/ABAC library for managing granular user abilities and permissions
Pundit - Simple authorization helpers for Elixir stucts, like Ruby's Pundit
