## Overview
Casdoor is an open-source identity and access management platform from the Casbin community, providing single sign-on, user management, and authorization in one self-hostable service. It supports OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and social login.

## What it is good at
Casdoor bundles authentication, an admin UI, and Casbin-based authorization, so teams get SSO plus fine-grained access control in one deployable package. It is developer-friendly, broadly protocol-compatible, and free to self-host, which suits startups and internal platforms.

## Where it falls short
As a younger community project, it has a smaller reference base and ecosystem than established open-source IAM, and there is no first-party enterprise support or managed SLA.

## Pricing
Free and open source (Apache 2.0); self-hosted.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Choose Casdoor for a self-hosted SSO and authorization platform, especially with Casbin. Look elsewhere for enterprise support or a managed service (see [Keycloak](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/open-source/keycloak/) or [Zitadel](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/open-source/zitadel/)).

## Bottom line
A convenient open-source IAM that pairs SSO with Casbin authorization, strong for self-hosted internal platforms.
