The Bulk Check API allows you to check multiple permissions in a single request, significantly reducing network overhead and improving performance when you need to verify multiple access control decisions at once. Key Benefits:
  • Check up to 100 permissions in a single API call
  • Reduce network round trips by batching multiple checks
  • All checks are evaluated against the same snapshot of your authorization data
The bulk check is particularly useful for UI permission checks, where you need to verify access for multiple resources at once (e.g., showing/hiding buttons for multiple items in a list).
