Simple and flexible permission control for Flask app.

Overview:

Flask developers looking to manage permissions in their applications will find a robust solution with this flexible permission control system. Combining simplicity with power, it allows you to tailor rules and permissions that align with the needs of your Flask app. Whether you're managing user access on a small project or a more complex system, this framework can help ensure security and proper access control.

What sets this permission control apart is its ease of use and the advanced features it offers. By subclassing core classes and defining custom rules, developers can implement granular permission checks, making it an essential tool for building secure applications.

Features:

  • Simple Setup: Just subclass the Rule and Permission classes to define your own rules, making initial setup straightforward and user-friendly.
  • Flexible Rule Inheritance: Supports rule inheritance, allowing you to create complex permission hierarchies without complicating the codebase.
  • Bitwise Operations: Utilize bitwise operations (& and |) to combine rules logically, enabling sophisticated permission configurations effortlessly.
  • Override Methods: Customize behavior by overriding methods such as check() and deny(), which give you control over how rules are validated and actions taken upon failure.
  • Multiple Usage Scenarios: Integrate permissions seamlessly as view decorators, in view logic, or within Jinja2 templates for maximum versatility.
  • Exception Handling: Automatic handling of permission failures with PermissionDeniedException ensures your application can gracefully manage access denials.
  • MIT License: Open-source under the MIT License, promoting freedom to use and modify the software for your specific needs.
