Change Log

Unreleased

[1.4.1] - 2021-01-22

• Add a UserRoleAssignment.applies_to_all field, because explicit is better than implicit. See the ADR at docs/decisions/0002-explicit-role-assignment-wildcard.rst.

[1.4.0]

• Update PyPI token.

[1.3.3] - 2020-10-02

• Removed python_2_unicode_compatible decorator.

[1.3.2] - 2020-07-28

• PermissionRequiredForListingMixin.get_queryset() should allow falsey base_queryset properties, like an empty QuerySet object. Adds tests to verify that this is the case.

[1.3.1] - 2020-06-16

• Update get_assignments() to guard against AnonymousUsers.

• Update contexts_accessible_from_database() to use get_assignments() instead of building a “custom” QuerySet.

[1.3.0] - 2020-06-11

• Adds a PermissionRequiredForListingMixin that can be used in DRF ModelViewSets and supports a list action. This should allow list actions to return all of the elements from a base_queryset that the requesting user has access to, either via their JWT or DB-assigned roles.

• Adds/modifies utility functions that deal with permission-checking to support multiple roles and multiple contexts.

[1.2.1] - 2020-05-08

• Exposes a new utils.feature_roles_from_jwt() function, which, given a decoded JWT, will provide a mapping of feature roles to contexts/identifiers.

• Modifies utils.user_has_access_via_database() to check for multiple database role assignments for a given user and role name (i.e. uses a filter() instead of a get()).

[1.2.0] - 2020-04-30

• Removed support for django 2.0 and 2.1

• Added Support for Python 3.8

[1.1.3] - 2020-04-13

• Added check for AnonymousUser in user_has_access_via_database to prevent 500 errors.

[1.1.2] - 2020-03-27

• Added support for Django 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2.

[1.1.1] - 2020-03-02

• Fix bug in implicit role check when the same role has multiple contexts available.

[1.1.0] - 2020-02-18

• Update PermissionRequiredMixin to pass through an object to rule predicates, if self.get_permision_required exists and is callable

[1.0.5] - 2019-12-18

• Updated requirements.

[1.0.4] - 2019-12-17

• Updated utils for user with multiple contexts.

[1.0.3] - 2019-09-12

• Use functools.wraps to prevent the decorator from swallowing the view name

[1.0.2] - 2019-07-12

• store current request on thread local storage using crum.

[1.0.1] - 2019-05-27

• edx-drf-extensions version upgrade.

[1.0.0] - 2019-05-20

[0.2.1] - 2019-05-08

• edx-drf-extensions version upgrade.

[0.2.0] - 2019-04-30

• Check for JWT presence in implicit permission.

• Refactor role retrieval to remove the dependency on django models for assigning roles.

[0.1.11] - 2019-04-08

• Get JWT token from request.auth if it is not set on the cookie. This supports client credentials oauth2 flow.

[0.1.10] - 2019-04-01

• Update context checks for implicit and explicit access for all resources access.

[0.1.9] - 2019-04-01

• Adding support for checking context for implicit and explicit access.

[0.1.8] - 2019-03-22

• Adding an additional argument for the permission_required decorator
