Set of classes that are reusable across various types of web apps, base user object, auth relationships + structured resource tree
Project description
Framework agnostic set of sqlalchemy classes that make building applications that require permissions an easy task.
ziggurat_foundations supplies a set of sqlalchemy mixins that can be used to extend models in your application built in pyramid/flask/(your-favourite-framework-here). The aim of this project is to supply set of generic models that cover the most common needs in application development when it comes to authorization - using flat and tree like data structures.
DOCUMENTATION: http://readthedocs.org/docs/ziggurat-foundations/en/latest/
BUG TRACKER: https://github.com/ergo/ziggurat_foundations
So far following basics are supplied:
User - base for user accounts
Group - container for many users
Resource - Arbitrary database entity that can represent various object hierarchies - blogs, forums, cms documents, pages etc.
Currently following information and data manipulation is supported:
assigning arbitrary permissions directly to users (ie. access admin panel)
assigning users to groups
assigning arbitrary permissions to groups
assigning arbitrary resource permissions to users (ie. only user X can access private forum)
assigning arbitrary resource permissions to groups
The sqlalchemy mixins make all the interactions easy to use in your application and save development time.
