Add roles to django-auth

Role are set of group of permissions and permissions. It's fully customizable. Everything is in database.

Admin application allow to manage roles.

Installation
============

.. sourcecode:: sh

   pip install django-auth-role

Quick start
===========

Add ``authrole`` to `INSTALLED_APPS` (``django.contrib.auth`` and ``django.contrib.contenttypes`` are also required)
and ``AuthRoleBackend`` to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`.

.. sourcecode:: python

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django.contrib.contenttypes',
       'django.contrib.auth',
       'authrole',
   ]

   AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
       'authrole.auth.backends.AuthRoleBackend',
   )

Extend ``auth.User``.

.. sourcecode:: python

   from authrole.mixins import RoleMixin
   from django.db import models

   class MyUser(RoleMixin, models.Model):
       user = models.OneToOneField('auth.User', related_name='user')

or create new auth user model:

.. sourcecode:: python

   from authrole.mixins import RoleMixin
   from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
   from django.db import models

   class MyUser(RoleMixin, AbstractUser):
       pass

In this case remember to set ``AUTH_USER_MODEL`` to Your model.

Create tables.

.. sourcecode:: sh

   ./manage.py migrate

Advanced usage
==============

Own authentication backend
--------------------------

If You need Your own authentication backend, simply extend ``BaseAuthRoleBackend``.
``fetch_role_permissions`` function must return a list of ``auth.Permission`` objects:

.. sourcecode:: python

   from authrole.auth.backends import BaseAuthRoleBackend
   from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission

   class MyBackend(BaseAuthRoleBackend):
       def fetch_role_permissions(self, user_obj):
           if user_obj.username == 'admin':
               return Permission.objects.all()
           else:
               return Permission.objects.none()

Extend role
-----------

Add ``OneToOneField`` to Your model:

.. sourcecode:: python

   from django.db import models

   class MyRole(models.Model):
       role = models.OneToOneField('authrole.Role', null=False, blank=False, related_name='myrole')
       extra_field = models.CharField(max_length=10)

And use:

.. sourcecode:: python

   from authrole.models import Role

   role = Role.objects.all()[0]

   print(role.myrole.extra_field)

Or write Your own role class based on ``AbstractRole`` (Django >= 1.5):

.. sourcecode:: python

   from authrole.model import AbstractRole

   class MyRole(AbstractRole):
       extra_field = models.CharField(max_length=10)

Point `AUTHROLE_ROLE_MODEL` to Your new model:

.. sourcecode:: python

   AUTHROLE_ROLE_MODEL = 'app.MyRole'

And use:

.. sourcecode:: python

   from app.models import MyRole

   role = MyRole.objects.all()[0]

   print(role.extra_field)
