Further analysis of the maintenance status of django-guardian based on released PyPI versions cadence, the repository activity, and other data points determined that its maintenance is Inactive.

An important project maintenance signal to consider for django-guardian is that it hasn't seen any new versions released to PyPI in the past 12 months, and could be considered as a discontinued project, or that which receives low attention from its maintainers.

In the past month we didn't find any pull request activity or change in issues status has been detected for the GitHub repository.

Readme

django-guardian

django-guardian is an implementation of per object permissions[1] on top of Django's authorization backend

Documentation

Online documentation is available at .

Requirements

Python 3.5+
A supported version of Django (currently 2.2+)

GitHub Actions run tests against Django versions 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and main.

Installation

To install django-guardian simply run:

pip install django-guardian

Configuration

We need to hook django-guardian into our project.

Put guardian into your INSTALLED_APPS at settings module:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
 ...
 'guardian',
)

Add extra authorization backend to your settings.py:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', # default
    'guardian.backends.ObjectPermissionBackend',
)

Create guardian database tables by running:
```
python manage.py migrate
```

Usage

After installation and project hooks we can finally use object permissions with Django.

Lets start really quickly:

&gt;&gt;&gt; from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
&gt;&gt;&gt; jack = User.objects.create_user('jack', 'jack@example.com', 'topsecretagentjack')
&gt;&gt;&gt; admins = Group.objects.create(name='admins')
&gt;&gt;&gt; jack.has_perm('change_group', admins)
False
&gt;&gt;&gt; from guardian.models import UserObjectPermission
&gt;&gt;&gt; UserObjectPermission.objects.assign_perm('change_group', jack, obj=admins)

&gt;&gt;&gt; jack.has_perm('change_group', admins)
True

Of course our agent jack here would not be able to change_group globally:

&gt;&gt;&gt; jack.has_perm('change_group')
False

Admin integration

Replace admin.ModelAdmin with GuardedModelAdmin for those models which should have object permissions support within admin panel.

For example:

from django.contrib import admin
from myapp.models import Author
from guardian.admin import GuardedModelAdmin

# Old way:
#class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
#    pass

# With object permissions support
class AuthorAdmin(GuardedModelAdmin):
    pass

admin.site.register(Author, AuthorAdmin)
