django-trusts
django-trusts is a Django permission system for object-level authorization.
It integrates with Django's authentication backend interface, allowing
applications to use familiar checks such as
user.has_perm(permission, object) while defining authorization policies
with ordinary Django models.
How permissions are represented
A trust model is the application-owned Django model from which three authorization paths begin:
- user — who is requesting access;
- permission — the operation being requested; and
- content — the object being protected.
Each matching trust record is a candidate grant. A trust model is often an explicit many-to-many relation model, but it may represent another relational shape. More than one complete trust may reach the same protected model; each is an alternative grant and the branches combine with OR.
django-trusts supplies the compiler and authorization APIs. It does not impose a permission schema, grant editor, or application workflow.
Usage
Start with Installation in the usage guide.
The RST guide covers models, backend configuration, trust registration
(both one-argument path lambdas and Django __ strings,
shown together),
named filters, object and queryset authorization, and inherited relationships.
