Has anyone integrated spicedb with authentik before, and is there any guides?

i'm not familiar with authentik; i don't know whether there are any guides. it is it an IDP? what role does it play?

what is the integration you're imagining?

in most implementations (including our own cloud implementation), SpiceDB and its authorization is entirely downstream of whatever authentication provider you're using

the authentication provider identifies a user, and then you use that user ID in SpiceDB and make checks based on that

the only caveat to that is if you wanted to use the IDP's roles/SCIM, but I'd ask why you're using SpiceDB in that case
