<pre class="base-tree">

        <strong class="uidshort">Auth</strong>
</pre>

<hr />
<pre class="literalblock">

Class for authentication, authorization, role based access control.

Includes:

- registration and profile
- login and logout
- username and password retrieval
- event logging
- role creation and assignment
- user defined group/role based permission

Authentication Example::

    from contrib.utils import *
    mail=Mail()
    mail.settings.server='smtp.gmail.com:587'
    mail.settings.sender='you@somewhere.com'
    mail.settings.login='username:password'
    auth=Auth(globals(), db)
    auth.settings.mailer=mail
    # auth.settings....=...
    auth.define_tables()
    def authentication():
        return dict(form=auth())

exposes:

- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/login
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/logout
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/register
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/verify_email
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/retrieve_username
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/retrieve_password
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/reset_password
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/profile
- http://.../{application}/{controller}/authentication/change_password

On registration a group with role=new_user.id is created
and user is given membership of this group.

You can create a group with::

    group_id=auth.add_group('Manager', 'can access the manage action')
    auth.add_permission(group_id, 'access to manage')

Here &quot;access to manage&quot; is just a user defined string.
You can give access to a user::

    auth.add_membership(group_id, user_id)

If user id is omitted, the logged in user is assumed

Then you can decorate any action::

    @auth.requires_permission('access to manage')
    def manage():
        return dict()

You can restrict a permission to a specific table::

    auth.add_permission(group_id, 'edit', db.sometable)
    @auth.requires_permission('edit', db.sometable)

Or to a specific record::

    auth.add_permission(group_id, 'edit', db.sometable, 45)
    @auth.requires_permission('edit', db.sometable, 45)

If authorization is not granted calls::

    auth.settings.on_failed_authorization

Other options::

    auth.settings.mailer=None
    auth.settings.expiration=3600 # seconds

    ...

    ### these are messages that can be customized
    ...
