Why karmantra?
karmantra originates from Karrotish Managed Trustbased Role Assignment. It was inspired by the online platform Karrot.
With karmantra it is possible to:
- build and manage role models for your system,
- evaluate user's role automatically with the help of rules,
- automate role assignment for users,
- change role models later,
- decouple roles and rules from the rest of the code,
- make assignment rules transparent and comprehensible for ALL and
- be flexible; you could even implement a system, where users can create their own role assignment model.
Who is it for
karmantra is for developers who want close the gap between development and organization (yes it's kind of DevOps). If you are a developer, you can easily karmantra to deploy role models and role evaluation mechanisms.
Who is it not for?
It's not suitable for developers who intend to create systems, where only administrators/moderators/... assign roles manually.
About Karrot
