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.
Assignment	manager + patched User and Group + shortcut function + Admin Integration (with ModelAdmin extension)			irrelevant			, utils functions	permission classes instances + admin (action) + custom views			Add builtin PermissionLogic subclass or your own PermissionLogic subclass to the target model class.											logical only (code executed on object to determine permission)	using shortcuts functions and mixins for Users and Objects				By creating a Permission record, mapping actions to roles, and defining permission inheritance via relations.					, complete API and GUI	patched User and Group or util functions		use the provided add_permission backend from django_generic_permissions.backends import add_permission add_permission('foo', logged_in_user)		via Models or Django Admin UI (upcoming: REST api via tastypie)	utils functions	utils functions				Permissions are not assigned to models.

Inheritance		By writing simple rules		irrelevant							for PermissionLogic class												, full inheritance defining the "parents" of the model.									, from parent container					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
Logical checks		Using the Polar policy language									each model have PermissionHandler for them and has_perm method will be called for paricular model.																No, though it's extensible enough to add that easily.										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'})
Decorator											Works as class/method/functional decorator.																								django.contrib.auth.decorators.permission_required		Implemented: @permission_required('app.read_project', fieldlookups_kwargs={'pk': 'project_id'})						This package operates on view level.
Database		Logic is written as .polar policy files		registry of callables							it use 'Logic' based permission system which is completely different from general permission system.											only logical check															implementation optimized to reduce db hits per http request
Templatetag											You can use like {% if user has 'auth.change_user' of object %}												, has_perm										, limited functionality				supports django's builtins							not needed as it is integrated with django.contrib.auth permissions
Django 1.2 backend
Roles		Check documentation for examples		irrelevant							if you add a PermissionLogic class like http://bit.ly/1z22IGl												, is actually required to have roles.									, assimilated by groups					Role is specified in model's meta and management commands updates db entires and makes it available for permission check
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		Permissions are dynamic		irrelevant							Can be												, the inheritance system also handle this behavior.														supports updating of multiple object permissions via `trust` and multiple users via django's `auth.models.Group`						Depends on implementation.
