Yes, you can, but this is a feature of the identity framework that isn't
really documented well (i.e not at all ;-)).
You can set the configuration setting 'identity.failure_url' to a
callable, which will get evaluated every time an IdentityFailure
exception occurs. In this function you can then check
a) if the the user is anonymous (not logged in)
b) what the error message(s) of the IdentityFailure exception are
and then return different URLs depending on this info.
Example (untested):
def failure_url():
if (identity.current.not_anonymous and
'foo' in cherrypy.request.identity_errors):
return url('/access_denied')
return url('/login')
See the code for 'turbogears.identity.exceptions' (set_identity_errors,
IdentityFailure) and turbogears.identity.conditions (Predicate, require)
for particulars.
As a simpler, but less general alternative, you can test for the
required permissions *within* your controller method and then just do
the redirect yourself. If you are just redirecting to a "Access denied"
page, you probably don't need to care about retaining request parameters
across redirects.
Example (also untested):
class MyController(controllers.Controller, identity.SecureResource):
@expose('bla')
def bla(self):
if not 'foo' in identity.current.permissions:
if identity.current.not_anonymous:
redirect('/access_denied')
raise identity.IdentityFailure
