Access Checks
How Access Checks works in Paycux, what it is for, and the smallest setup that gets it running.
Overview
Access Checks is part of the Paycux platform. This page explains what it does, when to reach for it, and the smallest working setup you can ship.
Everything below applies to both environments. Build and test in staging, then promote the same configuration to production without changing your code — only the API key and client ID differ.
A quick example
A quick example is handled by Access Checks rather than by your application code. Paycux exposes it through the same API surface as the rest of the platform, so the client you already configured needs no additional setup.
Configuration lives in the dashboard and is versioned per environment. Change it in staging, confirm the behaviour, then apply the same change to production.
Checking permissions
Roles are defined once per project and assigned per organization membership, so the same person can be an admin in one organization and a viewer in another.
Check permissions on the server, in the request path, using the permission slug rather than the role name. Role names change; slugs are stable.
