OPToggles

Sync Open-Policy to your Frontend

When developing a new feature, we often need to control which users can access and interact with it.
(For example, we might want to make sure only subscribers can access paid features)
If the user has no permissions to use the feature, we decide whether we display the feature disabled or hide it altogether.

OPToggles (Open Policy Toggles) is an open-source project that utilizes OPA + OPAL into your existing feature toggling solution.
OPToggles automatically creates user-targeted feature flags based on your existing authorization rules, pushes them to the feature flag solution, and keeps them synced using OPAL's real-time policy and policy-data event-driven architecture.

  • OPToggles uses OPA as the source of truth regarding what users are authorized for each feature toggle.
  • OPToggles uses OPAL to get real-time policy/data updates.

OPToggles requires a one-time configuration to connect to OPA and OPAL, and the rest is automatic.

Currently, OPToggles works with LaunchDarkly and with a Generic REST API. Let us know if you'd like to see OPToggles integrated with other feature flag solutions, or better yet contribute one with a pull request on OPToggles' Github.

OPToggles is part of Permit’s suite of open source solutions.

In the GIF, you can see how we:

  • Add the admin role to Alice.
  • Commit the new policy.
  • Alice can immediately see "Flag On", without any code changes.
