Ask HN: Open-source databases with document level access control?
1 point by wcerfgba on Nov 27, 2020 | hide | past | favorite
Hi y'all,

I am looking for a database system with document level access control, or an equivalent level of granularity wrt the data model of the database -- so for a graph database this would be at the node level, or for a RDBMS at the row level.

So far I have only found two options, and they are both cloud-only. MongoDB offer DLAC as part of Realm [1] and Fauna offers attribute based access control [2].

I can see CouchDB are working on document level access control [3] but it's not shipped yet.

Are there any open-source databases which have this in today?

Thanks :)
