  • Ticket #30226 – Description

    initial v5  
    11Currently, writing a new authentication backend requires quite some boilerplate e.g. `has_perm()` can be derived from `get_all_permissions()` which in turn can be derived from `get_user_permissions()` and `get_group_permissions()`. Additionally, `authenticate()` and `get_user()` should always return `None` for backends that only handle permissions.

    3 Also note that `get_all_permissions()` and `get_group_permissions()` exist on the User model, but `get_user_permissions()` does not. I think this is confisuing for backend authors.
