A NestJS module providing role- and attribute-based access control (RBAC/ABAC), built on top of onury's accesscontrol library. It offers decorator-based route guards, a RolesBuilder for defining grants, role inheritance, and attribute filtering.

Use cases

• add role-based permissions to a NestJS API
• restrict route access with decorators and guards
• filter response data by allowed attributes per role
• define hierarchical roles with inherited permissions
• control access to own vs any resources
• load permission grants from a database

When to choose

• you use NestJS and need fine-grained role/attribute authorization
• you want decorator-based guards with an ACGuard out of the box
• you need role inheritance and attribute-level filtering in-memory

When to avoid

• you're not using the NestJS framework
• you need policy-as-code or external authorization services like OPA
• you need permissions persisted and evaluated at database level
