tgapp-permissions is a Pluggable application for TurboGears2. tgapp-userprofile allows admins of your application to assign the users of your application to groups, and since groups are bound to permissions to assign permissions to your users

tgapp-permissions can be installed both from pypi or from github:

pip install tgapppermissions

should just work for most of the users

In your application config/app_cfg.py import plug:

from tgext.pluggable import plug

Then at the end of the file call plug with tgapppermissions:

plug(base_config, 'tgapppermissions')

You will be able to access the plugged application at http://localhost:8080/tgapppermissions.

other special options that can be used with tgapppermissions are:

• exclusive_permissions (default False): only a group can be assigned to a user
• query_groups: function that is called by the template, must return a list of tuples where each entry is composed of the _id of the group and it's display_name. you can customize this function to filter or and sort groups if you don't want to show every group in your database
