Pyramid Auth Demo

Pyramid has the ability to handle complex authentication and authorization patterns. How to do so is a constant source of frustration for new users. This is a demo intended to showcase Pyramid’s authorization capabilities. A lot of the demo focuses on URL Dispatch. If you are interested in traversal, do not despair as authorization via traversal is virtually indistinguishable from the object-level security demo and all of the concepts learned transfer over easily.

This demo is built around a wiki-style website that allows users to view and create pages. All of the code for each demo is available on GitHub at https://github.com/mmerickel/pyramid_auth_demo and should be used to follow along as only certain parts of each demo are shown in the narrative.
