117. Decorators for Authorization

Here are 10 Python snippets demonstrating how to use decorators for handling authentication and authorization in web applications:


1. Basic Authorization Decorator

from functools import wraps

def require_login(func):
    @wraps(func)
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        user = {"authenticated": False}  # Simulated user object
        if not user.get("authenticated"):
            return "Access denied: Please log in."
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapper

@require_login
def view_profile():
    return "Welcome to your profile!"

print(view_profile())

2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)


3. Checking Multiple Roles


4. Custom Authorization Logic


5. Token-Based Authorization


6. Checking API Key


7. IP-Based Access Restriction


8. Logging Unauthorized Access Attempts


9. Using Flask for Authentication


10. Combining Multiple Authorization Decorators


These examples showcase different ways to use decorators for implementing authentication and authorization, including role-based access control, token validation, and logging unauthorized access.
