# Permit.Absinthe 0.2: Absinthe GraphQL authorization for Elixir

**[Curiosum](https://daily.dev/sources/curiosum)** · 8 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Permit.Absinthe v0.2.0 graduates from proof-of-concept to production-ready, bringing the Permit authorization library's load-and-authorize pattern to Absinthe GraphQL in Elixir. Key additions include a rich set of customization options on the `permit` macro: `base_query` and `finalize_query` for Ecto query control, `fetch_subject` for custom user extraction, `handle_unauthorized`/`handle_not_found` error callbacks, a custom `loader` for non-Ecto sources, and a `wrap_authorized` post-authorization hook. The release also adds custom ID field support, a Dataloader integration via `authorized_dataloader/3` for batched association loading, and a reference table to help developers choose between resolver, middleware, directive, and Dataloader integration points. The schema-wide hydrator remains a work in progress. The API is still 0.x with possible breaking changes before 1.0.
