ziggurat-foundations 0.5.4

Set of classes that are reusable across various types of web apps, base user object, auth relationships + structured resource tree

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.

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.
