Multitenant SaaS - authentication, authorization
Hi,
I would like to find out the best way to start working on a multi-tenant SaaS product involving Elixir’s full-stack.
In the past, I already asked here about authentication and authorization, but without real luck. I am aware of Pow, Guardian, Phx.gen.auth… but somehow I still have a feeling that I will need to develop 2 products. The first one is my idea about Saas, and the second one is something to cover all these things around security.
I was looking into Keycloak, but I would rather avoid another external dependency.
Current tooling gives you the impression that all we have is basic support. Like the majority of products and use-cases would be running backends with minimum support for auth. Am I wrong? I mean I know I am, but I would like to challenge someone to give some useful feedback. Is there any real guide or tutorial or course on topics like Phx.gen.auth…
So I would like to build SaaS and use it as a multitenant platform with all sorts of roles behind and other modern options. And all that to be production-ready.
I would really like to get some guidance on where to go from here.
Thanks, T

Can you explain what “all sorts of roles behind and other modern options” is meant to mean? In my experience the reason why authentication/authorization libraries are often such a pain-point is that a library is used, which does handle that “stuff” just not in a way it would align well with project/business requirements – especially when faced with continuous development and maintenance.
