• Simple login, registration, and authentication
• Text and email verification
• Two-factor authentication
• Captcha
• JWT
• Wildcard permissions
• Role permissions
• Blueprints

This repository has been starred by Sanic's core maintainer:

Getting Started

In order to get started, please install pip.

Prerequisites

• pip

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Installation

• Install pip packages

pip3 install sanic-security

Usage

Once Sanic Security is configured and good to go, implementing is easy.

Initial Setup

First you have to create a configuration file called security.ini in the working directory. Below is an example of its contents:

[SECURITY]
secret=05jF8cSMAdjlXcXeS2ZJUHg7Tbyu
captcha_font=source-sans-pro.light.ttf

[BLUEPRINT]
register_route=api/auth/register
login_route=api/auth/login
verify_route=api/auth/verify
logout_route=api/auth/logout
captcha_request_route=api/capt/request
captcha_img_route=api/capt/img

[TORTOISE]
username=admin
password=8UVbijLUGYfUtItAi
endpoint=example.cweAenuBY6b.us-north-1.rds.amazonaws.com
schema=exampleschema
models=sanic_security.models, example.models
engine=mysql
generate=true

[TWILIO]
from=12058469963
token=1bcioi878ygO8fi766Fb34750e82a5ab
sid=AC6156Jg67OOYe75c26dgtoTICifIe51cbf

[SMTP]
host=smtp.gmail.com
port=465
from=[e-mail]
username=[e-mail]
password=wfrfouwiurhwlnj
tls=true
start_tls=false

You may remove each section in the configuration you aren't using. For example, if you're not utilizing Twillio you can delete the TWILLIO section.

Once you've configured Sanic Security, you can initialize Sanic with the example below:

initialize_security_orm(app)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000, debug=True)

All request bodies must be sent as form-data. The tables in the below examples represent example request form data.

    return response

Authorization

Sanic Security comes with two protocols for authorization: role based and wildcard based permissions.

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a policy-neutral access-control mechanism defined around roles and privileges. The components of RBAC such as role-permissions, user-role and role-role relationships make it simple to perform user assignments.

Wildcard permissions support the concept of multiple levels or parts. For example, you could grant a user the permission printer:query. The colon in this example is a special character used to delimit the next part in the permission string. In this example, the first part is the domain that is being operated on (printer), and the second part is the action (query) being performed. This concept was inspired by Apache Shiro's implementation of wildcard based permissions.

Examples of wildcard permissions are:

admin:add,update,delete
admin:add
admin:*
employee:add,delete
employee:delete
employee:*

• Require Permissions

@app.post("api/auth/perms")
@require_permissions("admin:update", "employee:add")
async def on_require_perms(request, authentication_session):
    return text("Account permitted.")

• Require Roles

@app.post("api/auth/roles")
@require_roles("Admin", "Moderator")
async def on_require_roles(request, authentication_session):
    return text("Account permitted")

Validation

Validation determines if an error should be raised due to a model's variable values. For example, a DisabledError would be raised when attempting to validate an account with the disabled variable value set to true.

• Validate Account

account = await Account.get_via_email("[e-mail]")
validate_account(account)

• Validate Session

authentication_session = await AuthenticationSession.decode()
validate_session(authentication_session)

Error Handling

@app.exception(SecurityError)
async def on_error(request, exception):
    return exception.response

Blueprints

Sanic Security blueprints contain endpoints that allow you to employ fundamental authentication and verification into your application with a single line of code.

• Implementation

app.blueprint(security)

• Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Info
POST	api/auth/register	A captcha is required. Register an account with an email, username, and password. Once the account is created successfully, a two-step session is requested and the code is emailed.
POST	api/auth/login	Login with an email and password. A two-step session is requested when the account is not verified and the code is emailed.
POST	api/auth/verify	Verify account with a two-step session code found in email.
POST	api/auth/logout	Logout of logged in account.
POST	api/capt/request	Requests new captcha session.
GET	api/capt/img	Retrieves captcha image from existing captcha session.

Testing

Make sure the test Sanic instance (test/server.py) is running on your machine as both postman, and the unit tests operate as a test client.

Then run the unit tests (test/tests.py) or test with postman via clicking the button below.

Tortoise

Sanic Security uses Tortoise ORM for database operations.

Tortoise ORM is an easy-to-use asyncio ORM (Object Relational Mapper).

• Define your models like so:

from tortoise.models import Model
from tortoise import fields

class Tournament(Model):
    id = fields.IntField(pk=True)
    name = fields.TextField()

• Use it like so:

# Create instance by save
tournament = Tournament(name='New Tournament')
await tournament.save()

# Or by .create()
await Tournament.create(name='Another Tournament')

# Now search for a record
tour = await Tournament.filter(name__contains='Another').first()
print(tour.name)
