Object-level																							, In conjunction with django-guardian since `Groups` can be used.							✅ ✅ django-trusts always works as an annexation; all features require no patched class of any sort, works with all existing builtin auth features: authorization, permission, group, contenttypes; option to use junction table mechanism: no moditication to any existing model.
Django 1.2 backend
Decorator							Works as class/method/functional decorator.													This package operates on view level.										Implemented: @permission_required('app.read_project', fieldlookups_kwargs={'pk': 'project_id'})											django.contrib.auth.decorators.permission_required
Logical checks				Using the Polar policy language			each model have PermissionHandler for them and has_perm method will be called for paricular model.																							via lambda registered with model (i.e., Content.register_permission_condition(Receipt, 'own', lambda u, p, o: u == o.user)) @permission_required('app.change_receipt:own', fieldlookups_kwargs={'pk': 'pk'})																No, though it's extensible enough to add that easily.
Database		registry of callables		Logic is written as .polar policy files			it use 'Logic' based permission system which is completely different from general permission system.																							implementation optimized to reduce db hits per http request																			only logical check
Declaration		registry of callables		Using the policy language	permissions are defined by role.		registration. Each model can be registered with Handler for them		, permission classes					, registration		as a method in the same model				Permissions are declared for views.			, Role class inheritance						, using the same method as auth Django system.	via django's permission model: app.change_xyz, app.add_xyz, app.delete_xyz or any custom permissions											permissions are view and function level permissions	, registration dynamically creates permission models	, global permissions in settings and model permission as canonical auth			Yes, by creating a role-agent-entity entry, combined with checking optional model relations.			, declaration in a perms.py file in app
Assignment	manager + patched User and Group + shortcut function + Admin Integration (with ModelAdmin extension)	irrelevant			, utils functions		Add builtin PermissionLogic subclass or your own PermissionLogic subclass to the target model class.		permission classes instances + admin (action) + custom views					patched User and Group	manager	In the same model as a method which takes the User as argument and returns True or False				Permissions are not assigned to models.									using shortcuts functions and mixins for Users and Objects	via Models or Django Admin UI (upcoming: REST api via tastypie)	utils functions								utils functions		use the provided add_permission backend from django_generic_permissions.backends import add_permission add_permission('foo', logged_in_user)	patched User and Group or util functions	, complete API and GUI			By creating a Permission record, mapping actions to roles, and defining permission inheritance via relations.			logical only (code executed on object to determine permission)
Templatetag							You can use like {% if user has 'auth.change_user' of object %}									not needed as it is integrated with django.contrib.auth permissions													, has_perm	supports django's builtins												, limited functionality
Inheritance		irrelevant		By writing simple rules			for PermissionLogic class																						, full inheritance defining the "parents" of the model.	Can be achieve with two methods: a) by register the model with field lookup path from another permissible model (i.e., Content.register_content(ReceiptImage, '%s__image' % Content.get_content_fieldlookup('app.Receipt')), or b) by sharing the same `trust` between depended / dependent objects													, from parent container
Roles		irrelevant		Check documentation for examples			if you add a PermissionLogic class like http://bit.ly/1z22IGl																						, is actually required to have roles.	Role is specified in model's meta and management commands updates db entires and makes it available for permission check													, assimilated by groups
Field level					, define it in a object level checker.															Objects are assigned to request and they can be compared to other values by attributes or methods.										?
Cascade update		irrelevant		Permissions are dynamic			Can be													Depends on implementation.									, the inheritance system also handle this behavior.	supports updating of multiple object permissions via `trust` and multiple users via django's `auth.models.Group`
Any-to-any							Can be																						, only User-to-any	Same mechanism as Inheritance
Model-level									, integration						, own	integrated with django.contrib.auth permissions													, using role classes with models=ALL_MODELS	design to be used alongside with Django's builtin auth ModelBackend									, own		this works independent of Django models intentionally		, own and integrated
