# Authorization Matrix

> Define role-based access expectations in ApyGuard so scans can evaluate authorization behavior across endpoints.

## Overview

Use the authorization matrix to describe which roles should or should not have access to specific endpoints. This gives ApyGuard the context it needs to detect broken authorization patterns.

## What to document here

* How roles are defined
* How endpoint access expectations are assigned
* How matrix entries affect scan behavior
* How teams should review matrix changes over time
