The RBAC system allows you to create and layer roles for controlling access to resources. Any django Model can

configure the name of a role, any parents a role may have, and the permissions having this role will grant you to the resource.

|

### `ResourceMixin`
|
||||
|
||||
By mixing in the `ResourceMixin` to your model, you are turning your model in to a `Resource` in the eyes of the RBAC implementation. What this means simply is that your model will now have an `ImplicitResourceField` named resource. Your model will also gain some methods that aid in the checking the access a users roles provides them to a resource.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `accessible_objects(cls, user, permissions)`
|
||||
|
||||
`accessible_objects` is a class level method to use instead of `Model.objects`. This method will restrict the query of objects to only the objects that a user has the passed in permissions for. This is useful when you want to only filter and display a `Resource` that a users role grants them the `permissions` to.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
objects = Model.accessible_objects(user, {'write':True})
|
||||
objects.filter(name__istartswith='december')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### `get_permissions(self, user)`
|
||||
|
||||
#### `accessible_by(self, user, permissions)`
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
After exploring the _Overview_ the usage of the RBAC implementation in your code should feel unintrisive and natural.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# make your model a Resource
|
||||
class Document(Model, ResourceMixin):
|
||||
...
|
||||
# declare your new role
|
||||
readonly_role = ImplicitRoleField(
|
||||
role_name="readonly",
|
||||
resource_field="resource",
|
||||
permissions={'read':True},
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now that your model is a `Resource` and has a `Role` defined, you can be get to access the helper methods provided to you by the `ResourceMixin` for checking access to your resource. Here is the output of a Python REPL session.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# we've created some documents and a user
|
||||
>>> document = Document.objects.filter(pk=1)
|
||||
>>> user = User.objects.first()
|
||||
>>> document.accessible_by(user, {'read': True})
|
||||
False # not accessible by default
|
||||
>>> document.readonly_role.memebers.add(user)
|
||||
>>> document.accessible_by(user, {'read':True})
|
||||
True # now it is accessible
|
||||
>>> document.accessible_by(user, {'read':True, 'write':True})
|
||||
False # my role does not have write permission
|
||||
```
