To do so, within ``views.py``: - -- We add ``permission='view'`` to the decorator attached to the - ``view_wiki`` and ``view_page`` view functions. This makes the - assertion that only users who possess the ``view`` permission - against the context resource at the time of the request may - invoke these views. We've granted - :data:`pyramid.security.Everyone` the view permission at the - root model via its ACL, so everyone will be able to invoke the - ``view_wiki`` and ``view_page`` views. - -- We add ``permission='edit'`` to the decorator attached to the - ``add_page`` and ``edit_page`` view functions. This makes the - assertion that only users who possess the effective ``edit`` - permission against the context resource at the time of the - request may invoke these views. We've granted the - ``group:editors`` principal the ``edit`` permission at the - root model via its ACL, so only a user whom is a member of - the group named ``group:editors`` will able to invoke the - ``add_page`` or ``edit_page`` views. We've likewise given - the ``editor`` user membership to this group via the - ``security.py`` file by mapping him to the ``group:editors`` - group in the ``GROUPS`` data structure (``GROUPS - = {'editor':['group:editors']}``); the ``groupfinder`` - function consults the ``GROUPS`` data structure. This means - that the ``editor`` user can add and edit pages. +Add a ``permission='edit'`` parameter to the ``@view_config`` +decorator for ``add_page()`` and ``edit_page()``, for example: + +.. code-block:: python + :linenos: + :emphasize-lines: 2 + + @view_config(route_name='add_page', renderer='templates/edit.pt', + permission='edit') + +(Only the highlighted line needs to be added.) + +The result is that only users who possess the ``edit`` +permission at the time of the request may invoke those two views. + +Add a ``permission='view'`` parameter to the ``@view_config`` +decorator for ``view_wiki()`` and ``view_page()``, like this: + +.. code-block:: python + :linenos: + :emphasize-lines: 2 + + @view_config(route_name='view_page', renderer='templates/view.pt', + permission='view') + +(Only the highlighted line needs to be added.) + +This allows anyone to invoke these two views. + +We are done with the changes needed to control access.
