Release: | 0.1 |
---|---|
Date: | June 12, 2010 |
ine grained authentication and authorization is not yet included as part of the Camelot framework.
what is included is the function :
camelot.model.authentication.getCurrentAuthentication()
which returns an entity of type
camelot.model.authentication.UsernameAuthenticationMechanism
where the username is the username of the currently logged in user (because on most desktop apps, you don’t want a separate login process for your app, but rely on that of the OS).
this function can then be used if you build the Admin classes for your application :
- in the ApplicationAdmin.get_sections method, to hide/show sections depending on the logged in user
- in the EntityAdmin subclasses, in the get_field_attributes method, to set fields to editable=False/True depending on the logged in user
