How to Implement RBAC Permission Checks with a Route Decorator in Python
Build a reusable Python decorator that checks a user's role against allowed roles and raises a custom PermissionError when access is denied.
from functools import wraps
from enum import Enum
class Role(Enum):
ADMIN = "admin"
MODERATOR = "moderator"
USER = "user"
class PermissionError(Exception):
pass
def require_role(*allowed_roles):
def decorator(func):
@wraps(func)

…Scope-based authorization in Python
A simple Python class that checks user scopes against required permissions for a resource, returning an authorization decision.
class ScopeAuthorization:
def __init__(self):
self.scopes = {
"read": ["resource:read"],
"write": ["resource:read", "resource:write"],
"admin": ["resource:read", "resource:write", "resource:delete"]
}
def authorize(self, user_scopes, required_scope, resource…Browse by section
