django-authorities 0.1.2

Installation

Install it with pip install django-authorities, or if you want to use the latest version on github, try pip install git+https://github.com/spapas/django-authorities.

After it is installed, put authorities in your INSTALLED_APPS setting.

Simple usage

This is a very simple app with two models and a couple of views for editing these.

After you’ve installed it, you can visit the django admin to edit authorities.Authority``s and ``authorities.AuthorityKind``s. ``AuthorityKind only has a name (so it can be directorate, department team etc) while Authority has kind (AuthorityKind), is_active (boolean), parent (an optional FK to another Authority to create hierarchies) and users (an M2M relation with settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL; each user can belong to multiple authorities and each authority will have more than one user).

Also I’ve included a couple of non-admin views which you can use as they are or modify. Either inherit from them, put them in your own urls.py or include the whole authorities.urls. The templates of these views inherit from a base.html which needs to provide a content block.
