Clerk Introduces New Authorization Features

Clerk has launched authorization capabilities with custom roles, permissions, and helper functions.

Developers can define custom roles in the Clerk dashboard, assign to employees, and create fine-grained permissions.

New helper functions include has() for checking user permissions, protect() for blocking unauthorized actions, and <Protect> for React component-level protection.

Detailed documentation is provided for proper implementation and usage of these new features.

Future plans include extending authorization helpers to support entitlements and other resources beyond 'org:' prefixed roles and permissions.
