Any support for offline mobile applications

[jdicami]

Hello,

I've been searching for information or best practices on integrating OpenFGA with offline-first mobile applications. To provide context, our mobile application syncs with a backend database. The web team is currently transitioning our old permission system, based on casl, to FGA. However, I haven't come across any mobile SDKs that enable on-the-fly permission checks on the mobile side. While I recognize that FGA has a more powerful permission model, I'm seeking advice or documentation on how to implement this for our specific use case. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi @jdicami

OpenFGA does not have built-in support for that use case.

A possible path would be for you to store the results of the authorization checks in a local database, and use those when the application is offline.

Do you think that could work?
