Django App Permissions Access Request

UI for handling app permissions defined in the Django App Permissions package (https://github.com/amp89/django-app-permissions)

Install

pip install --upgrade django-app-permissions-access-request

Configure

NOTE: Make sure the base django stuff is migrated before adding this to the project! settings.py

1. Must have Django App Permissions installed and setup
2. In ACCESS_CONTROLLED_INSTALLED_APPS, add django_app_permissions_access_request. IT MUST GO IN ACCESS CONTROLLED INSTALLED APPS, OR ANYONE WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR OWN PERMISSIONS!
3. SITE_HOME_URL_NAME This should be the name of the url that is the home/ root site.
4. [RECOMMENDED] in settings.py: REDIRECT_ACCESS_REQUEST_HOME = True - this will redirect the user back to the SITE_HOME_URL_NAME page instead of the access request list, after submitting the access request form.
5. [RECOMMENDED] in settings.py: REDIRECT_403_URL='django_app_permissions_access_request.request_access' to direct the user to the request form
6. Add to base URLS: path('access_request/', include('django_app_permissions_access_request.urls')),

Use:

The new urls are now:

access_request/approvals/ (name='django_app_permissions_access_request.approvals') You must be a part of this app on the backend (in the django_app_permissions_access_request group) or a superuser with ALLOW_ALL_SUPERUSER = True to see this page. This is where user requests are approved / denied.

access_request/ (name='django_app_permissions_access_request.request_list') A list of apps that the user can request

access_request/request/?group_id (name='django_app_permissions_access_request.request_access') These are linked to in the above page, and if REDIRECT_403_URL='django_app_permissions_access_request.request_access' is set in settings, the user will be directed to the request page if they try to visit an app that they are not a part of.
