Welcome to django-tutelary’s documentation!

The django-tutelary package is a policy-based permission plugin for Django, loosely inspired by the way that permissions policies work in Amazon’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) system.

Note

This is a work in progress. Use at your own risk. In particular, django-tutelary currently has no caching, so performance might not be stellar. There are places where there are opportunities for caching both database query results and permissions query results, but I’ve yet to take advantage of them.
