============================================
Welcome to django-authority's documentation!
============================================
django-authority is a layer between Django's basic permission system (provided
through ``django.contrib.auth`` and your application:
.. image:: .static/authority-scheme-layer.png
.. note:: django-authority does not add any voodoo-schmoodoo to Django's
contrib.auth system so your existing permission system keeps intact!
Summarized this application provides three abilities:
1. It gives you the ability to add permissions like Django's generic permissions
to any kind of model without storing them in the model's META attribute.
2. It provides a very simple way to create per-object-permissions. (Also known
as row level permissions)
3. It wraps Django's generic permissions so you can use the same syntax as
for the above ones.
