Cerbos Python Demo

Make sure you have Python 3.9 and your environment has the dependencies in requirements.txt installed before running.

Depending on your configuration, you may want to change CERBOS_URL in main.py.

Policies to use with your Cerbos server are in the cerbos-bin/policy folder.

Start the Cerbos server
```
./cerbos-bin/start.sh
```
In another terminal window, create a new virtual environment to run ./main.py and start the demo
```
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./main.py
```
Try deleting the condition block attached to the direct_manager derived role (line 23-28 in cerbos-bin/policy/derived_roles_1.yml) and running ./main.py again. Amanda, who was previously disallowed from viewing or approving Harry’s leave requests should now be allowed to do those actions.
