This was inspired by gist https://gist.github.com/7wonders/6557760.

Requirements

• Python 2.7+

• Django 1.7

• django-guardian 1.2.4

• tastypie 0.12.1

Not tested in other versions yet.

Quickstart

Install django-pieguard:

pip install django-pieguard

Then use it in a tastypie project:

from pieguard.authorization import GuardianAuthorization
from tastypie.resources import Resource
from django.db import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        permissions = (
            ('view_mymodel', 'View my model'),
        )

class MyResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        authorization = GuardianAuthorization
        # ... your other options

Notes on permissions

django-pieguard uses a special view_modelname permission to control if user can view that resource or not. As Django only creates add, change and delete permissions by default, you need to add the relevant permission on your model Meta class.
