Resource Pathing
In Permguard, an AuthZ Server is a logical server composed of multiple nodes. It includes the following components:
- Zone Administration Point (ZAP)
- Policy Administration Point (PAP)
- Policy Information Point (PIP)
- Policy Decision Point (PDP)
This AuthZ Server manages various elements such as ledgers. Due to the complexity of these resources, a structured pathing mechanism is essential for efficient management and access control.
An environment can have multiple AuthZ Servers, so it is important to reference each one explicitly. There is no guarantee that the same resource will be unique across all servers.
To reference a specific zone in an AuthZ Server, use the following URI format:
protocol host zone
┌───┴────┐┌───┴───┐ ┌────┴─────┐
permguard@localhost/273165098782Ledger Pathing
To reference a specific ledger in an AuthZ Server, use the following URI format:
protocol host zone ledger

permguard@localhost/273165098782/ledgers/magicfarmaciaA policy can be referenced using the following URI format:
