Who would cross the Bridge of Death

must answer me these questions three,

ere the other side he see.

—The Bridgekeeper, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Bridgekeeper is a permissions library for Django projects, where permissions are defined in your code, rather than in your database.

It's heavily inspired by django-rules, but with one important difference: it works on QuerySets as well as individual model instances.

This means that you can efficiently show a list of all of the model instances that your user is allowed to edit, for instance, without having your permission-checking code in two different places.

Bridgekeeper is tested on Django 3.2, 4.2 and 5.0 on all Python versions Django supports, and is licensed under the MIT License.
