Review Access Control Before Merge
This workflow is for teams shipping APIs or web applications with roles, ownership rules, or tenant boundaries. It is triggered when a pull request changes object lookups, permission checks, or sensitive actions such as updates, exports, and approvals.
During code review, verify both who the requester is and whether that requester may perform the action on the specific resource. A good result is a blocked unauthorized path, a clear fix in the pull request, and no preventable access-control defect reaching production.

More about measuring PR outcomes
Track whether the workflow finds exploitable paths early and helps developers close them before merge. Measure results by severity and remediation speed, not raw alert volume.
- Record confirmed authorization findings per pull request, including IDOR and cross-tenant cases.
- Compare time from detection to accepted fix, plus findings that escape to later application security testing.
- Sample dismissed alerts monthly to identify noisy checks or missing context.
