Authorization Handler

Definitions

1. A component that evaluates one or more authorization rules or policies for a request and decides whether the action should proceed. Authorization handlers often translate framework context, identity claims, and resource state into concrete allow-or-deny outcomes.

   In plain English: A component that decides whether a request is allowed based on access rules.

   Example: "The framework called a custom authorization handler that checked both feature entitlement and organization ownership before exposing the export route."
