The way I solved this was to write a custom auth backend that could
evaluate a collection of non-model permissions. By convention, I had
one permission per view. Some of these permissions were aliased to
corresponding model permissions and some of them were based on other
criteria. Essentially, this is a way to hide the unlimited
functionality of user_passes_test() behind the standard permission-
based authorization API. If you wanted to dynamically assign these non-
model permissions, I imagine you could create your own Permission
model with links to Users and Groups and use that in the backend code.
A brief, highly simplified example:
class MyAuthorizationBackend(object):
def __init__(self):
self.virtual_perms = {
'app.article_annotations': self.allow_annotation_view
}
def has_perm(self, user, perm):
"""
This is the auth backend API.
"""
if perm in self.virtual_perms:
return self.virtual_perms[perm](user)
else:
return False
def allow_annotation_view(self, user):
"""
Returns true if the given user is allowed to view annotations.
"""
pass
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
'path.to.MyAuthorizationBackend',
)
