django-role-permissions is a django app for role based permissions. It's built on top of django contrib.auth user Group and Permission functionalities and it does not add any other models to your project.

django-role-permissions supports Django versions from 1.5 till the latest.

Version 2.x now supports multiple roles!

Documentation is available at:

http://django-role-permissions.readthedocs.org/

If you are still using an 1.x version the old documentation is at:

http://django-role-permissions.readthedocs.io/en/1.x/

No new features will be added to version 1.x, neither is it going to be officially supported. Although, there's a 1.x branch. PRs and bug fixes are welcome there and we may push new versions to PyPI.

There are major changes from version 1.x to 2.x. Here are some of them worth noting:

• Django role permissions now supports multiple role attribution
• Function names have changed to adapt to multiple roles
• Import paths have changed

A special thanks to @kavdev for working on multiple role support.
