How to create custom permission (user role) in Django ?

Question

I have simple question. How to create user role in Django without creating it in DB manually ?

EDIT: I need to create specific permission. So only users with this permission can change specific field of model. I just need make one field 'readonly' for some users. Is it possible in django?

Answer 1

Check this Django application : django-rbac

Hope this will help

Answer 2

You could check out django-authority. It lets you implement object level permissions, and even logical checks. Logical checks are not stored in the database, but are functions that can be passed values and return True or False. Shameless plug: my fork implements the django 1.2 object permission backend, so you could use it like: userA.hasperm("see_xyz")
