Description
Dear Django team,
I developed two management commands grantpermissions
and revokepermissions
for our CMS based on Django CMS.
That was very useful to simply grant plugin permissions for many plugins across different CMS instances.
Under the hood, plugin permissions are entirely based on django.contrib.auth.models.Permission
, django.contrib.auth.models.Group
and django.contrib.contenttypes.models.ContentType
.
Therefore the commands I implemented are fully independent from our own CMS solution as well as it does not depend on Django CMS.
The only dependencies are the contenttypes
and auth
contrib applications. Thus I decided to contribute those commands and the related unit tests to the Django project.
I create this ticket to collect feedback if this sounds like a rational contribution and if you are interested in it by filing a PR against the django
GitHub repository.
yours sincerely,
Florian Schieder from Germany

Thank you very much for the quick response – I agree the ticket system is the wrong place to handle this proposal for the time being so I created a new forum topic.
Hi Florian, thank you for raising this ticket!
For new feature requests, the recommended path forward is to first propose and discuss the idea on the Django Forum. You'll reach a wider audience and likely get extra feedback 👍
I'll close the ticket for now, but if there is a community agreement for this, you are welcome to come back to the ticket and point to the forum topic, so we can then re-open it. For more details, please see the documented guidelines for requesting features.
