Description

ziggurat_foundations ===================== Framework agnostic set of sqlalchemy classes that make building applications that require permissions an easy task. ziggurat_foundations supplies a set of *sqlalchemy mixins* that can be used to extend models in your application built in pyramid/flask/(your-favourite-framework-here). The aim of this project is to supply set of generic models that cover the most common needs in application development when it comes to authorization - using flat and tree like data structures. **DOCUMENTATION**: http://readthedocs.org/docs/ziggurat-foundations/en/latest/ **BUG TRACKER**: https://bitbucket.org/ergo/ziggurat_foundations So far following basics are supplied: - User - base for user accounts - Group - container for many users - Resource - Arbitrary database entity that can represent various object hierarchies - blogs, forums, cms documents, pages etc. Currently following information and data manipulation is supported: - assigning arbitrary permissions directly to users (ie. access admin panel) - assigning users to groups - assigning arbitrary permissions to groups - assigning arbitrary resource permissions to users (ie. only user X can access private forum) - assigning arbitrary resource permissions to groups The sqlalchemy mixins make all the interactions easy to use in your application and save development time.
