QUESTION

Flask user-roles, authorization, login and security, or principal?

Asked 2020-Oct-12 at 21:45

This question has a similar question that was posted 7 years ago. I want to know what is pertinent currently. Flask-auth, Principal and Flask Security

I have found so much documentation on login and user authorization and controls im a little uncertain how I should be going about this. Im using Flask_SQLAlchemy and sqlite to build a CRUD app. I want to be able to create user specific login authorization and roles so that some portions of the app are or are not visible depending on your role and or authorization. I was hoping that maybe someone could provide the differences and/or the pros and cons or maybe what the industry standard is? Im looking at

Flask-Admin - https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction/

Role based Authorization - https://flask-user.readthedocs.io/en/latest/authorization.html

login_required - https://flask-login.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Flask Principal - https://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Principal/

Also, theres the option of writing your own code, Im already using -

While you listed some related plugins, you did not specify what you want to do.

A couple of thoughts about the mentioned plugins:

Flask Principal -> unmaintained
Flask-User -> no commits for over a year; that's a warning sign for me; I would not use it
Flask-Admin -> I have used it for one app, where I needed basic CRUD implementation and an user and an admin role; worked out ok; while there is activity, the project is drowning in issues and pull requests; e.g. examples are broken for years; trivial pull requests do not get merged
Flask-Login -> I use it for every Flask project, works pretty well; no authorization suppport!; while the maintainer is pretty inactive, one of the Flask core maintainers has access to the project and does some housekeeping work

So, if you want to use Flask, I'd go with Flask-Login, except you have a very basic crud application, than you could have a look at Flask-Admin.

If Flask is not a given requirement, I'd have a look at eg Django or other frameworks.

QUESTION

Request validation based on header in Flask framework

Asked 2020-Apr-24 at 08:20

I have several endpoints that I built with Flask. Some of the endpoints should approve requests only for some specific user ids.

Let's say I have:

This endpoint: company//videos to GET all videos for this company.
A header containing the user id of the user making the GET request.
A mongo collection containing all user ids and the corresponding companies the said user can access.

What is the best way, with Flask, to check if the request can be approved given the corresponding header?

Edit: While there are some good Flask decorators to handle it when we use an ORM with an User table, like here: https://pypi.org/project/Flask-Authorize/ , in my case, I'm not using any ORM

If I were you, I'd build a custom decorator to control this kind of permissions.

The flow would look like this:

intercept incoming request
find out what's the request's user id
send a query to your mongo (if not cached with ttl eg. 10sec) to retrieve the list of allowed user ids
do your checks and allow or prohibit usage of endpoint

Let me know if that sounds realistic for your use-case, or if you have any questions.

QUESTION

How do I structure this medium sized flask application?

Asked 2017-Sep-11 at 08:27

Using the FLASK framework in Python, my application needs to:

register and log in users (with either a sqlite or postgres database)
access a specific google spreadsheet that the logged in user owns and output that data in a json format. I am required to have my own authorization & authentication system

I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to even structure the application - what directories and sub-directories should I have?

I have done A LOT of playing around (about 1 months worth). I am using a virtual environment but don't know how to test my code well either. In general, my code runs but I have no idea how they work together really.** I am completely new to flask.**

Structuring the app:

|app

|----run.py

|----config.py

|----database

|---------database.db

|----app

|---------views.py

|---------models.py

|---------forms.py

|---------extensions.py

|----templates

|---------....

|----static

|--------....

Authorization / Authentication: I have looked at Flask-Login, Flask-Auth, Flask-Security. I understand the general idea but do not know how to securely implement a complete authorization & authentication system.

Project structure:
If you're planning to build a larger Flask application, you should consider decomposing the functionality into Blueprints.
The official Flask documentation has a tutorial on how to structure larger applications: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.12/patterns/packages/

Also, take a look at the Hitchhiker's guide to organizing your project. It has some very good points: http://python-guide-pt-br.readthedocs.io/en/latest/writing/structure/

If you're designing an REST API consider using Flask-RESTful (which also works nicely with Blueprints)
