# Authorization using PingOne Authorize

PingOne Authorize is a cloud-based authorization service that controls what end users can see and do inside of applications and APIs.

PingOne Authorize allows organizations to centrally configure authorization requirements, ranging from simple rules to real-time, fine-grained policies. Centralized authorization enables Identity and Access Management (IAM) teams and stakeholders to collaborate and quickly adapt to new requirements, use cases, and regulations.

## What's new?

* Strengthen [Authorize gateway](../integrations/p1_authz_gateways.html) security with version 1.2.1.

* Make bulk decision requests with [Authorize gateway version 1.2.0](../integrations/p1_authz_gateways.html).

* Use tokens from [external OAuth servers](p1_az_external_oauth_servers.html) for API access control.

* Integrate PingOne Authorize with [Amazon CloudFront](p1az_configuring_cloudfront_lambda_edge.html).

* Protect sensitive API resources with [Step-up authentication for APIs](../authentication/p1_stepup_authentication_for_apis.html).

* Use custom OAuth parameters in [HTTP service](p1_az_connecting_an_http_service.html) requests.
