In this article, we will discuss how to integrate GraphQL with resource_policy, a Ruby gem for attribute-level authorization, to create fine-grained access control for your API. We will cover the basic concepts of resource_policy, how to use it to protect your resources, and how to expose your policies through GraphQL to provide your API users with visibility into which data they can access.
Expressing authorization rules can be a bit challenging with the use of other authorization gems, such as pundit or cancancan. The resource_policy gem provides a more concise and expressive policy definition that uses a simple block-based syntax that makes it easy to understand and write authorization rules for each attribute.
