Installation

pip install django-dagster

Configuration

Add django_dagster to INSTALLED_APPS and set DAGSTER_URL in your Django settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "django_dagster",
]

DAGSTER_URL = "http://localhost:3000"

Then run migrations to create the permission models:

python manage.py migrate django_dagster

No URL configuration is needed — the plugin registers itself with the Django admin automatically. Navigate to /admin/ and look for the Dagster section.

Permissions

By default, all staff users (is_staff=True) have full access to all Dagster views and actions. To enable granular, Django-native permission control, add this to your settings:

DAGSTER_PERMISSIONS_ENABLED = True

When enabled, access is governed by standard Django permissions that you can assign to users or groups via the Django admin:

Permission	Codename	Grants access to
Can view Job	view_dagsterjob	View job list and job detail pages
Can view Run	view_dagsterrun	View run list and run detail pages
Can trigger Dagster jobs	trigger_dagsterjob	Trigger/submit a new job run
Can cancel Dagster runs	cancel_dagsterrun	Cancel a running job
Can re-execute Dagster runs	reexecute_dagsterrun	Re-execute a completed/failed run

Superusers always have all permissions regardless of this setting.

Programmatic API

The package also exposes a Python API for use outside the admin:

from django_dagster import get_jobs, get_runs, get_run, submit_job, cancel_run, reexecute_run

Demo

A self-contained demo project is available in the demo/ directory with sample Dagster jobs and pre-configured users. See demo/README.md for instructions.
