I'm using django-guardian and I encountered some issues with the default mixins. And I want to know if there's a better way to do this. GitHub Link: https://github.com/iaggocapitanio1/django_homepage
Problem:
If I want to limit access at both the model and object levels, using these two mixins (PermissionRequiredMixin, PermissionListMixin) is not a very easy task. Because the permissions_required attribute is overridden. To get around this I had to create a new attribute "object_permission" and do the following:
Model Looks like:
# Create your models here.
from django.db import models
from localflavor.br import models as localModels
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
class User(AbstractUser):
pass
class Customer(models.Model):
user: User = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.user.first_name} {self.user.last_name}'
class Company(models.Model):
user: User = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='comapnies')
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.user.first_name} {self.user.last_name}'
class Project(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
owner = models.ForeignKey(Customer, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='projects')
class Meta:
permissions = (('read_project', 'Read Project'),)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class House(models.Model):
rooms = models.IntegerField()
postal_code = localModels.BRPostalCodeField()
project = models.ForeignKey(Project, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
Here I needed to create a new attribute ("object_permission") to limit object-level access in the View:
class ProjectsListView(PermissionRequiredMixin, PermissionListMixin, ListView):
template_name = 'home/projects.html'
model = models.Project
permission_required = ["homepage.view_project"]
object_permission = ["read_project"]
redirect_field_name = 'next'
login_url = 'login/'
get_objects_for_user_extra_kwargs = {}
def get_object_permission(self, request: HttpRequest = None) -> List[str]:
if isinstance(self.object_permission, str):
perms = [self.object_permission]
elif isinstance(self.object_permission, Iterable):
perms = [p for p in self.object_permission]
else:
raise ImproperlyConfigured("'PermissionRequiredMixin' requires "
"'permission_required' attribute to be set to "
"'<app_label>.<permission codename>' but is set to '%s' instead"
% self.permission_required)
return perms
def get_get_objects_for_user_kwargs(self, queryset):
return dict(user=self.request.user,
perms=self.get_object_permission(self.request),
klass=queryset,
**self.get_objects_for_user_extra_kwargs)
@receiver(post_save, sender=models.Project)
def project_post_save(sender, **kwargs):
"""
Create a Profile instance for all newly created User instances. We only
run on user creation to avoid having to check for existence on each call
to User.save.
"""
project: models.Project = kwargs["instance"]
created: bool = kwargs["created"]
if created:
user = models.User.objects.get(pk=project.owner.user.id)
assign_perm("read_project", user, project)
Am I using the right approach to filter data relative to each user? How do I combine both the page access limitation and the relative data of each user in a class model view?
