rules ^^^^^

rules is a tiny but powerful app providing object-level permissions to Django, without requiring a database. At its core, it is a generic framework for building rule-based systems, similar to decision trees_. It can also be used as a standalone library in other contexts and frameworks.

Table of Contents

Requirements

rules requires Python 3.8 or newer. The last version to support Python 2.7 is rules 2.2. It can optionally integrate with Django, in which case requires Django 3.2 or newer.

Note: At any given moment in time, rules will maintain support for all currently supported Django versions, while dropping support for those versions that reached end-of-life in minor releases. See the Supported Versions_ section on Django Project website for the current state and timeline.

.. _Supported Versions: https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions

Upgrading from 2.x

The are no significant changes between rules 2.x and 3.x except dropping support for Python 2, so before upgrading to 3.x you just need to make sure you're running a supported Python 3 version.

Upgrading from 1.x

How to install

Using pip:

.. code:: bash

$ pip install rules

Manually:

.. code:: bash

$ git clone https://github.com/dfunckt/django-rules.git
$ cd django-rules
$ python setup.py install

Run tests with:

.. code:: bash

$ ./runtests.sh

You may also want to read Best practices_ for general advice on how to use rules.

Configuring Django

Add rules to INSTALLED_APPS:

.. code:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'rules',
)

Add the authentication backend:

.. code:: python

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'rules.permissions.ObjectPermissionBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

Using Rules

rules is based on the idea that you maintain a dict-like object that maps string keys used as identifiers of some kind, to callables, called predicates. This dict-like object is actually an instance of RuleSet and the predicates are instances of Predicate.

Creating predicates

Let's ignore rule sets for a moment and go ahead and define a predicate. The easiest way is with the @predicate decorator:

.. code:: python

>>> @rules.predicate
>>> def is_book_author(user, book):
...     return book.author == user
...
>>> is_book_author
<Predicate:is_book_author object at 0x10eeaa490>

This predicate will return True if the book's author is the given user, False otherwise.

Predicates can be created from any callable that accepts anything from zero to two positional arguments:

This is their generic form. If seen from the perspective of authorization in Django, the equivalent signatures are:

Predicates can do pretty much anything with the given arguments, but must always return True if the condition they check is true, False otherwise. rules comes with several predefined predicates that you may read about later on in API Reference, that are mostly useful when dealing with authorization in Django.

Dynamic predicates

If needed predicates can be created dynamically depending on parameters:

.. code:: python

import rules

def role_is(role_id):
    @rules.predicate
    def user_has_role(user):
        return user.role.id == role_id

    return user_has_role

rules.add_perm("reports.view_report_abc", role_is(12))
rules.add_perm("reports.view_report_xyz", role_is(13))

Setting up rules

Let's pretend that we want to let authors edit or delete their books, but not books written by other authors. So, essentially, what determines whether an author can edit or can delete a given book is whether they are its author.

In rules, such requirements are modelled as rules. A rule is a map of a unique identifier (eg. "can edit") to a predicate. Rules are grouped together into a rule set. rules has two predefined rule sets:

So, let's define our first couple of rules, adding them to the shared rule set. We can use the is_book_author predicate we defined earlier:

.. code:: python

>>> rules.add_rule('can_edit_book', is_book_author)
>>> rules.add_rule('can_delete_book', is_book_author)

Assuming we've got some data, we can now test our rules:

.. code:: python

>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> from books.models import Book
>>> guidetodjango = Book.objects.get(isbn='978-1-4302-1936-1')
>>> guidetodjango.author
<User: adrian>
>>> adrian = User.objects.get(username='adrian')
>>> rules.test_rule('can_edit_book', adrian, guidetodjango)
True
>>> rules.test_rule('can_delete_book', adrian, guidetodjango)
True

Nice... but not awesome.

Combining predicates

Predicates by themselves are not so useful -- not more useful than any other function would be. Predicates, however, can be combined using binary operators to create more complex ones. Predicates support the following operators:

Suppose the requirement for allowing a user to edit a given book was for them to be either the book's author, or a member of the "editors" group. Allowing users to delete a book should still be determined by whether the user is the book's author.

With rules that's easy to implement. We'd have to define another predicate, that would return True if the given user is a member of the "editors" group, False otherwise. The built-in is_group_member factory will come in handy:

.. code:: python

>>> is_editor = rules.is_group_member('editors')
>>> is_editor
<Predicate:is_group_member:editors object at 0x10eee1350>

We could combine it with the is_book_author predicate to create a new one that checks for either condition:

.. code:: python

>>> is_book_author_or_editor = is_book_author | is_editor
>>> is_book_author_or_editor
<Predicate:(is_book_author | is_group_member:editors) object at 0x10eee1390>

We can now update our can_edit_book rule:

.. code:: python

>>> rules.set_rule('can_edit_book', is_book_author_or_editor)
>>> rules.test_rule('can_edit_book', adrian, guidetodjango)
True
>>> rules.test_rule('can_delete_book', adrian, guidetodjango)
True

Let's see what happens with another user:

.. code:: python

>>> martin = User.objects.get(username='martin')
>>> list(martin.groups.values_list('name', flat=True))
['editors']
>>> rules.test_rule('can_edit_book', martin, guidetodjango)
True
>>> rules.test_rule('can_delete_book', martin, guidetodjango)
False

Awesome.

So far, we've only used the underlying, generic framework for defining and testing rules. This layer is not at all specific to Django; it may be used in any context. There's actually no import of anything Django-related in the whole app (except in the rules.templatetags module). rules however can integrate tightly with Django to provide authorization.

.. _authorization in Django:

Using Rules with Django

rules is able to provide object-level permissions in Django. It comes with an authorization backend and a couple template tags for use in your templates.

Permissions

In rules, permissions are a specialised type of rules. You still define rules by creating and combining predicates. These rules however, must be added to a permissions-specific rule set that comes with rules so that they can be picked up by the rules authorization backend.

Creating permissions ++++++++++++++++++++

The convention for naming permissions in Django is app_label.action_object, and we like to adhere to that. Let's add rules for the books.change_book and books.delete_book permissions:

.. code:: python

>>> rules.add_perm('books.change_book', is_book_author | is_editor)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.delete_book', is_book_author)

See the difference in the API? add_perm adds to a permissions-specific rule set, whereas add_rule adds to a default shared rule set. It's important to know however, that these two rule sets are separate, meaning that adding a rule in one does not make it available to the other.

Checking for permission +++++++++++++++++++++++

Let's go ahead and check whether adrian has change permission to the guidetodjango book:

.. code:: python

>>> adrian.has_perm('books.change_book', guidetodjango)
False

When you call the User.has_perm method, Django asks each backend in settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS whether a user has the given permission for the object. When queried for object permissions, Django's default authentication backend always returns False. rules comes with an authorization backend, that is able to provide object-level permissions by looking into the permissions-specific rule set.

Let's add the rules authorization backend in settings:

.. code:: python

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'rules.permissions.ObjectPermissionBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

Now, checking again gives adrian the required permissions:

.. code:: python

>>> adrian.has_perm('books.change_book', guidetodjango)
True
>>> adrian.has_perm('books.delete_book', guidetodjango)
True
>>> martin.has_perm('books.change_book', guidetodjango)
True
>>> martin.has_perm('books.delete_book', guidetodjango)
False

NOTE: Calling has_perm on a superuser will ALWAYS return True.

Permissions in models

NOTE: The features described in this section work on Python 3+ only.

It is common to have a set of permissions for a model, like what Django offers with its default model permissions (such as add, change etc.). When using rules as the permission checking backend, you can declare object-level permissions for any model in a similar way, using a new Meta option.

First, you need to switch your model's base and metaclass to the slightly extended versions provided in rules.contrib.models. There are several classes and mixins you can use, depending on whether you're already using a custom base and/or metaclass for your models or not. The extensions are very slim and don't affect the models' behavior in any way other than making it register permissions.

Then, create your models like so, assuming you're using RulesModel as base directly::

import rules
from rules.contrib.models import RulesModel

class Book(RulesModel):
    class Meta:
        rules_permissions = {
            "add": rules.is_staff,
            "read": rules.is_authenticated,
        }

This would be equivalent to the following calls::

rules.add_perm("app_label.add_book", rules.is_staff)
rules.add_perm("app_label.read_book", rules.is_authenticated)

There are methods in RulesModelMixin that you can overwrite in order to customize how a model's permissions are registered. See the documented source code for details if you need this.

Of special interest is the get_perm classmethod of RulesModelMixin, which can be used to convert a permission type to the corresponding full permission name. If you need to query for some type of permission on a given model programmatically, this is handy::

if user.has_perm(Book.get_perm("read")):
    ...

Permissions in views

rules comes with a set of view decorators to help you enforce authorization in your views.

Using the function-based view decorator +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For function-based views you can use the permission_required decorator:

.. code:: python

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
from rules.contrib.views import permission_required
from posts.models import Post

def get_post_by_pk(request, post_id):
    return get_object_or_404(Post, pk=post_id)

@permission_required('posts.change_post', fn=get_post_by_pk)
def post_update(request, post_id):
    # ...

Usage is straight-forward, but there's one thing in the example above that stands out and this is the get_post_by_pk function. This function, given the current request and all arguments passed to the view, is responsible for fetching and returning the object to check permissions against -- i.e. the Post instance with PK equal to the given post_id in the example. This specific use-case is quite common so, to save you some typing, rules comes with a generic helper function that you can use to do this declaratively. The example below is equivalent to the one above:

.. code:: python

from rules.contrib.views import permission_required, objectgetter
from posts.models import Post

@permission_required('posts.change_post', fn=objectgetter(Post, 'post_id'))
def post_update(request, post_id):
    # ...

For more information on the decorator and helper function, refer to the rules.contrib.views module.

Using the class-based view mixin ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Django includes a set of access mixins that you can use in your class-based views to enforce authorization. rules extends this framework to provide object-level permissions via a mixin, PermissionRequiredMixin.

The following example will automatically test for permission against the instance returned by the view's get_object method:

.. code:: python

from django.views.generic.edit import UpdateView
from rules.contrib.views import PermissionRequiredMixin
from posts.models import Post

class PostUpdate(PermissionRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Post
    permission_required = 'posts.change_post'

You can customise the object either by overriding get_object or get_permission_object.

For more information refer to the Django documentation_ and the rules.contrib.views module.

.. _Django documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/auth/default/#limiting-access-to-logged-in-users

Checking permission automatically based on view type ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you use the mechanisms provided by rules.contrib.models to register permissions for your models as described in Permissions in models_, there's another convenient mixin for class-based views available for you.

rules.contrib.views.AutoPermissionRequiredMixin can recognize the type of view it's used with and check for the corresponding permission automatically.

This example view would, without any further configuration, automatically check for the "posts.change_post" permission, given that the app label is "posts"::

from django.views.generic import UpdateView
from rules.contrib.views import AutoPermissionRequiredMixin
from posts.models import Post

class UpdatePostView(AutoPermissionRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Post

By default, the generic CRUD views from django.views.generic are mapped to the native Django permission types (add, change, delete and view). However, the pre-defined mappings can be extended, changed or replaced altogether when subclassing AutoPermissionRequiredMixin. See the fully documented source code for details on how to do that properly.

Permissions and rules in templates

rules comes with two template tags to allow you to test for rules and permissions in templates.

Add rules to your INSTALLED_APPS:

.. code:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'rules',
)

Then, in your template::

{% load rules %}

{% has_perm 'books.change_book' author book as can_edit_book %}
{% if can_edit_book %}
    ...
{% endif %}

{% test_rule 'has_super_feature' user as has_super_feature %}
{% if has_super_feature %}
    ...
{% endif %}

Permissions in the Admin

If you've setup rules to be used with permissions in Django, you're almost set to also use rules to authorize any add/change/delete actions in the Admin. The Admin asks for four different permissions, depending on action:

Note: view permission is new in Django v2.1 and should not be added in versions before that.

The first four are obvious. The fifth is the required permission for an app to be displayed in the Admin's "dashboard". Overriding it does not restrict access to the add, change or delete views. Here's some rules for our imaginary books app as an example:

.. code:: python

>>> rules.add_perm('books', rules.always_allow)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.add_book', is_staff)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.view_book', is_staff | has_secret_access_code)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.change_book', is_staff)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.delete_book', is_staff)

Django Admin does not support object-permissions, in the sense that it will never ask for permission to perform an action on an object, only whether a user is allowed to act on (any) instances of a model.

If you'd like to tell Django whether a user has permissions on a specific object, you'd have to override the following methods of a model's ModelAdmin:

rules comes with a custom ModelAdmin subclass, rules.contrib.admin.ObjectPermissionsModelAdmin, that overrides these methods to pass on the edited model instance to the authorization backends, thus enabling permissions per object in the Admin:

.. code:: python

# books/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from rules.contrib.admin import ObjectPermissionsModelAdmin
from .models import Book

class BookAdmin(ObjectPermissionsModelAdmin):
    pass

admin.site.register(Book, BookAdmin)

Now this allows you to specify permissions like this:

.. code:: python

>>> rules.add_perm('books', rules.always_allow)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.add_book', has_author_profile)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.change_book', is_book_author_or_editor)
>>> rules.add_perm('books.delete_book', is_book_author)

To preserve backwards compatibility, Django will ask for either view or change permission. For maximum flexibility, rules behaves subtly different: rules will ask for the change permission if and only if no rule exists for the view permission.

Permissions in Django Rest Framework

Similar to rules.contrib.views.AutoPermissionRequiredMixin, there is a rules.contrib.rest_framework.AutoPermissionViewSetMixin for viewsets in Django Rest Framework. The difference is that it doesn't derive permission from the type of view but from the API action (create, retrieve etc.) that's tried to be performed. Of course, it also requires you to declare your models as described in Permissions in models_.

Here is a possible ModelViewSet for the Post model with fully automated CRUD permission checking::

from rest_framework.serializers import ModelSerializer
from rest_framework.viewsets import ModelViewSet
from rules.contrib.rest_framework import AutoPermissionViewSetMixin
from posts.models import Post

class PostSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = "__all__"

class PostViewSet(AutoPermissionViewSetMixin, ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Post.objects.all()
    serializer_class = PostSerializer

By default, the CRUD actions of ModelViewSet are mapped to the native Django permission types (add, change, delete and view). The list action has no permission checking enabled. However, the pre-defined mappings can be extended, changed or replaced altogether when using (or subclassing) AutoPermissionViewSetMixin. Custom API actions defined via the @action decorator may then be mapped as well. See the fully documented source code for details on how to properly customize the default behavior.

Advanced features

Custom rule sets

You may create as many rule sets as you need:

.. code:: python

>>> features = rules.RuleSet()

And manipulate them by adding, removing, querying and testing rules:

.. code:: python

>>> features.rule_exists('has_super_feature')
False
>>> is_special_user = rules.is_group_member('special')
>>> features.add_rule('has_super_feature', is_special_user)
>>> 'has_super_feature' in features
True
>>> features['has_super_feature']
<Predicate:is_group_member:special object at 0x10eeaa500>
>>> features.test_rule('has_super_feature', adrian)
True
>>> features.remove_rule('has_super_feature')

Note however that custom rule sets are not available in Django templates -- you need to provide integration yourself.

Invocation context

A new context is created as a result of invoking Predicate.test() and is only valid for the duration of the invocation. A context is a simple dict that you can use to store arbitrary data, (eg. caching computed values, setting flags, etc.), that can be used by predicates later on in the chain. Inside a predicate function it can be used like so:

.. code:: python

>>> @predicate
... def mypred(a, b):
...     value = compute_expensive_value(a)
...     mypred.context['value'] = value
...     return True

Other predicates can later use stored values:

.. code:: python

>>> @predicate
... def myotherpred(a, b):
...     value = myotherpred.context.get('value')
...     if value is not None:
...         return do_something_with_value(value)
...     else:
...         return do_something_without_value()

Predicate.context provides a single args attribute that contains the arguments as given to test() at the beginning of the invocation.

Binding "self"

In a predicate's function body, you can refer to the predicate instance itself by its name, eg. is_book_author. Passing bind=True as a keyword argument to the predicate decorator will let you refer to the predicate with self, which is more convenient. Binding self is just syntactic sugar. As a matter of fact, the following two are equivalent:

.. code:: python

>>> @predicate
... def is_book_author(user, book):
...     if is_book_author.context.args:
...         return user == book.author
...     return False

>>> @predicate(bind=True)
... def is_book_author(self, user, book):
...     if self.context.args:
...         return user == book.author
...     return False

Skipping predicates

You may skip evaluation by returning None from your predicate:

.. code:: python

>>> @predicate(bind=True)
... def is_book_author(self, user, book):
...     if len(self.context.args) > 1:
...         return user == book.author
...     else:
...         return None

Returning None signifies that the predicate need not be evaluated, thus leaving the predicate result up to that point unchanged.

Logging predicate evaluation

rules can optionally be configured to log debug information as rules are evaluated to help with debugging your predicates. Messages are sent at the DEBUG level to the 'rules' logger. The following dictConfig_ configures a console logger (place this in your project's settings.py if you're using rules with Django):

.. code:: python

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'rules': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    },
}

When this logger is active each individual predicate will have a log message printed when it is evaluated.

.. _dictConfig: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.config.html#logging-config-dictschema

Best practices

Before you can test for rules, these rules must be registered with a rule set, and for this to happen the modules containing your rule definitions must be imported.

For complex projects with several predicates and rules, it may not be practical to define all your predicates and rules inside one module. It might be best to split them among any sub-components of your project. In a Django context, these sub-components could be the apps for your project.

On the other hand, because importing predicates from all over the place in order to define rules can lead to circular imports and broken hearts, it's best to further split predicates and rules in different modules.

rules may optionally be configured to autodiscover rules.py modules in your apps and import them at startup. To have rules do so, just edit your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

.. code:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # replace 'rules' with:
    'rules.apps.AutodiscoverRulesConfig',
)

Note: On Python 2, you must also add the following to the top of your rules.py file, or you'll get import errors trying to import rules itself:

.. code:: python

from __future__ import absolute_import

API Reference

The core APIs are accessible from the root rules module. Django-specific functionality for the Admin and views is available from rules.contrib.

Class rules.Predicate

You create Predicate instances by passing in a callable:

.. code:: python

>>> def is_book_author(user, book):
...     return book.author == user
...
>>> pred = Predicate(is_book_author)
>>> pred
<Predicate:is_book_author object at 0x10eeaa490>

You may optionally provide a different name for the predicate that is used when inspecting it:

.. code:: python

>>> pred = Predicate(is_book_author, name='another_name')
>>> pred
<Predicate:another_name object at 0x10eeaa490>

Also, you may optionally provide bind=True in order to be able to access the predicate instance with self:

.. code:: python

>>> def is_book_author(self, user, book):
...     if self.context.args:
...         return user == book.author
...     return False
...
>>> pred = Predicate(is_book_author, bind=True)
>>> pred
<Predicate:is_book_author object at 0x10eeaa490>

Instance methods ++++++++++++++++

test(obj=None, target=None) Returns the result of calling the passed in callable with zero, one or two positional arguments, depending on how many it accepts.

Class rules.RuleSet

RuleSet extends Python's built-in dict_ type. Therefore, you may create and use a rule set any way you'd use a dict.

.. _dict: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict

Instance methods ++++++++++++++++

add_rule(name, predicate) Adds a predicate to the rule set, assigning it to the given rule name. Raises KeyError if another rule with that name already exists.

set_rule(name, predicate) Set the rule with the given name, regardless if one already exists.

remove_rule(name) Remove the rule with the given name. Raises KeyError if a rule with that name does not exist.

rule_exists(name) Returns True if a rule with the given name exists, False otherwise.

test_rule(name, obj=None, target=None) Returns the result of calling predicate.test(obj, target) where predicate is the predicate for the rule with the given name. Returns False if a rule with the given name does not exist.

Decorators

@predicate Decorator that creates a predicate out of any callable:

.. code:: python

    >>> @predicate
    ... def is_book_author(user, book):
    ...     return book.author == user
    ...
    >>> is_book_author
    <Predicate:is_book_author object at 0x10eeaa490>

Customising the predicate name:

.. code:: python

    >>> @predicate(name='another_name')
    ... def is_book_author(user, book):
    ...     return book.author == user
    ...
    >>> is_book_author
    <Predicate:another_name object at 0x10eeaa490>

Binding ``self``:

.. code:: python

    >>> @predicate(bind=True)
    ... def is_book_author(self, user, book):
    ...     if 'user_has_special_flag' in self.context:
    ...         return self.context['user_has_special_flag']
    ...     return book.author == user

Predefined predicates

always_allow(), always_true() Always returns True.

always_deny(), always_false() Always returns False.

is_authenticated(user) Returns the result of calling user.is_authenticated(). Returns False if the given user does not have an is_authenticated method.

is_superuser(user) Returns the result of calling user.is_superuser. Returns False if the given user does not have an is_superuser property.

is_staff(user) Returns the result of calling user.is_staff. Returns False if the given user does not have an is_staff property.

is_active(user) Returns the result of calling user.is_active. Returns False if the given user does not have an is_active property.

is_group_member(*groups) Factory that creates a new predicate that returns True if the given user is a member of all the given groups, False otherwise.
