API Custom Authorization

API custom authorization allows you to enforce an additional set of authorization claims on API endpoints. Workato’s API Gateway evaluates the custom authorization expression after an API request is made to an endpoint and authenticated with a valid token. This feature adds an extra layer of security by enabling you to create additional role-based access control, locale restriction, and business logic rules.

This feature is in private release. Contact your Customer Success Manager to enable this feature. Learn more in our API Platform documentation.
