Fine Grained News - May 2024
Welcome to Fine Grained News, May edition!
New Releases!
-
We shipped the a ListUsers API. ListUsers allows you to retrieve all the users that have a specific relation with a resource (e.g. all users that can view a document).
-
In collaboration with Yann D'Isanto we shipped a plugin for JetBrain's IDEs to allow syntax coloring and validation of OpenFGA models. Together with the Visual Studio Code integration and the Tree sitter grammar from Matouš Dzivjak, OpenFGA has get great coverage for major IDEs and editors.
What's Next
- We've identified a few areas where we can improve performance and we are actively working on them.
- We'll be instrumenting our SDKs to provide metrics / tracing and logging through OpenTelemetry APIs.
- We'll be adding additional consistency options for OpenFGA query APIs.
- We'll be working on adding authorization for OpenFGA APIs.
Please check the items above and let us know if you have any feedback or idea.

As we mentioned before, we transitioned out from Discord for OpenFGA and are now using the CNCF #openfga Slack channel. If you are not part of the CNCF Slack workspace, you need to join the CNCF Slack first.
