qatoolkit-auth-net VS HeimGuard

📢 How do you automatically retrieve the JWT token to test your protected HTTP API? You can do it with [QAToolKit Auth library](https://github.com/qatoolkit/qatoolkit-auth-net).

Here’s a small lib I made to make feature access easier. Business logic is usually more baked in. You could have somewhat more merged if those two with resource based FGA using OpenFGA or Permify too but don’t cross that bridge unless you need it.

I’m usually able to get away with permission based access, but am looking into resource based for a current project.

There are a few libraries that try and solve this problem in the ASP.NET platform level. The ones I know are https://github.com/pdevito3/HeimGuard and https://www.thereformedprogrammer.net/finally-a-library-that-improves-role-authorization-in-asp-net-core/

If anyone’s interested, I feel dove this a while back and put together a small lib for this to make permission checking a bit smoother. Depending on how your tenanting works OP, it would likely fit into this fairly well.

As far as authorization, the link above uses a project called HiemGuard to protect the endpoints.

I looked into simplifying this a lot a few weeks ago and ended up putting together a small helper library to make my life easier around permissions if you want to check it out. Should be able to integrate into your authentication setup just fine.
