django-guardian
django-guardian is an implementation of per-object permissions on top
of Django’s authorization backend. Read an introduction to per-object permissions on djangoadvent articles.
Documentation
Online documentation is available at https://django-guardian.readthedocs.io/.
Installation
To install django-guardian into your project run:
uv add django-guardian
TIP: Not using a package manager like
uvorpoetryfor your django project? You probably should try them :). In the meantime,pip install django-guardianworks just fine too.
Configuration
We need to hook django-guardian into our project.
- Put
guardianinto yourINSTALLED_APPSat settings module:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'guardian',
)
- Add extra authorization backend to your
settings.py:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
'guardian.backends.ObjectPermissionBackend',
)
- Create
guardiandatabase tables by running:
python manage.py migrate
Usage
After installation and project hooks we can finally use object permissions with Django.
Lets start really quickly:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
>>> jack = User.objects.create_user('jack', 'jack@example.com', 'topsecretagentjack')
>>> admins = Group.objects.create(name='admins')
>>> jack.has_perm('change_group', admins)
False
>>> from guardian.shortcuts import assign_perm
>>> assign_perm('change_group', jack, obj=admins)
<UserObjectPermission: admins | jack | change_group>
>>> jack.has_perm('change_group', admins)
True
Of course our agent jack here would not be able to change_group globally:
>>> jack.has_perm('change_group')
False
Admin integration
Replace admin.ModelAdmin with GuardedModelAdmin for those models
which should have object permissions support within admin panel.
For example:
from django.contrib import admin
from myapp.models import Author
from guardian.admin import GuardedModelAdmin
# Old way:
#class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
# pass
# With object permissions support
class AuthorAdmin(GuardedModelAdmin):
pass
admin.site.register(Author, AuthorAdmin)
Django Unfold integration
Users of django-unfold will find that guardian is supported out of the box via a contrib module.
