Is role management supported? about vakt HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, since vakt (and ABAC in general) is too generic in this sense, there is no possibility for it to know how to fetch values based on some attribute: e.g. find out that the given username has an admin role by querying some datasource, because combinations of attributes and their meaning is immense, compared to more fine-grained systems like RBAC.

The only way to do it is to get username on the client side (your app) and pass it as an attribute.

@Rydra, no problem :)
I just wanted to add that if you need rbac + abac in one bottle you might want to look at casbin and its py-casbin client for python. AFAIK they have both.
