**The situation**
I would like to check user permission based on the django.contrib.sites
I'm in. To get the active site, django.contrib.sites needs the request so
he can match the hostname. I'm using django-rules at the moment but It's
quite generic.
**The Problem**
Not having the request in has_perm/has_perms I cannot check permissions
based on the currently active site
The "call stack" detail is here: https://github.com/dfunckt/django-
rules/issues/130
**A possible solution**
Adding *args and ^^*^^*kwargs to has_perm and has_perms signatures would
allow greater flexibility for the custom authentication backends leaving
intact what we have now. In my case, for example, I could check permission
in my django-rules predicates having the the request passed in and check
if I have rights for the current site, but I think my case is quite
limited and all new authentication backends would benefit from this
change.
