For permissions, that’s a different service: https://github.com/ory/keto
It’s a long journey! If you ever see some of our docs again and feel that it has lost it’s way please reach out; It’s very important to us to not only show how the product works but also why :)
Ory Keto and Ory Oathkeeper can play together! Ory Keto implements Google Zanzibar, it's basically a service where you can check if "x is allowed to do y". Ory Oathkeeper on the other hand is something which can check for any given HTTP request: who is the user making the request? is the user allowed to make the request? and finally convert all this information into a common format. However, Ory Oathkeeper does itself not make the decision, it uses e.g. Ory Keto to check the permission itself. Hope this makes sense
