Datapunt authorization
Project description
Interface to authorization logic in the backend of Amsterdam’s (Netherlands) open data distribution platform, [Datapunt](http://data.amsterdam.nl).
In Datapunt authorization levels associated with users are stored in a central database. When a user accesses a resource she needs to provide a cryptographically secure token. That token contains the user’s authorization level. The resource in turn uses that information to decide what information the user can access.
Install
$ pip install datapunt-authorization
In order to use this library you need to have access to a Postgress database.
Usage
import authorization
import authorization_levels # pip install datapunt-authorization-levels
authzmap = authorization.AuthzMap(**psycopgconf)
if authzmap['myuser'] == authorization_levels.LEVEL_EMPLOYEE:
... # do some eployee-e things
