Intro

guardrail is a Python library for managing object-level permissions with support for arbitrary ORMs and web frameworks. Other libraries like django-guardian handle this problem well for particular frameworks, but guardrail makes it simple to implement object- level permissions for any framework.

guardrail includes a set of abstract base classes for writing framework- specific plugins, as well as plugins supporting object-level permissions for SQLAlchemy, Peewee, Pony ORM, and Django ORM. Writing new plugins is fairly straightforward. Although current plugins are limited to SQL ORMs, adding support for NoSQL stored would be fairly straightforward as well.
