Tortoise ORM Adapter for PyCasbin

GitHub Workflow Status PyPI - Downloads GitHub Buy a tree

This is an asynchronous adapter for pycasbin using Tortoise ORM.

Supports Python 3.7+.

Installation

python3 -m pip install --user casbin-tortoise-adapter
# or via your favorite dependency manager, like PDM

The current supported databases are limited by Tortoise ORM.

Documentation

The only configurable is the underlying Model used by TortoiseAdapter. While simple, it should be plenty to cover most use cases that one could come across. You can change the model by passing the modelclass: CasbinRule keyword argument to the adapter and updating the model in your Tortoise ORM init configuration.

The modelclass value must inherit from casbin_tortoise_adapter.CasbinRule to ensure that all the expected fields are present. A TypeError will throw if this is not the case.

A custom Model, combined with advanced configuration like show in the Tortoise ORM "Two Databases" example, allow you to change where your authorization rules are stored (database, model name, etc.)

Basic example

from casbin import AsyncEnforcer
from tortoise import Tortoise

from casbin_tortoise_adapter import CasbinRule, TortoiseAdapter

async def main()
    # connect to db and generate schemas
    await Tortoise.init(
        db_url="postgres://postgres:password@test-db:5432/my_app",
        modules={"models": ["casbin_tortoise_adapter"]},
    )
    await Tortoise.generate_schemas()

    adapter = casbin_tortoise_adapter.TortoiseAdapter()
    e = AsyncEnforcer('path/to/model.conf', adapter)

    sub = "alice"  # the user that wants to access a resource.
    obj = "data1"  # the resource that is going to be accessed.
    act = "read"  # the operation that the user performs on the resource.

    if e.enforce(sub, obj, act):
        # permit alice to read data1
        pass
    else:
        # deny the request, show an error
        pass
