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					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			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	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											, registration dynamically creates permission models	permissions are view and function level permissions		Yes, by creating a role-agent-entity entry, combined with checking optional model relations.	, global permissions in settings and model permission as canonical auth	, 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	utils functions	via Models or Django Admin UI (upcoming: REST api via tastypie)									utils functions		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)		By creating a Permission record, mapping actions to roles, and defining permission inheritance via relations.	, complete API and GUI	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			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			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			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
