Flexible per-object authorization backend for Django

Project description

django-rulez is a fork of django-rules, since some of the goals django-rules set themselves didn’t match our current project goals.You can refer to their github project page for more information about this cool project: https://github.com/maraujop/django-rules Kudos for the good work guys!

Generally, it is a per-object authorization backend, that stores the rules themselves as methods on model.

Installation

From source

To install django-rulez from source:

git clone https://github.com/cglass/django-rulez/ django-rulez
cd django-rulez
python setup.py install

Simply install django-rulez like you would install any other pypi package:

pip install django-rulez

Configuration

  • Add it to the list of INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py

  • Add the django-rulez authorization backend to the list of AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py:

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = {
        'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', # Django's default auth backend
        'django_rules.backends.ObjectPermissionBackend',
    }

Example

The following example should get you started:

# models.py
from rulez import registry

class myModel(models.Model)

    def can_edit(self, user_obj):
        '''
        Not a very useful rule, but it's an example
        '''
        if user_obj.username == 'chris':
            return True
        return False

registry.register('can_edit', myModel)
