# Create a CasbinMiddleware instance with the enforcer
enforcer = Enforcer("../examples/authz_model.conf", "../examples/authz_policy.csv")

            user = self.get_secure_cookie("user").decode('utf-8')
        return user

    def prepare(self):
        # Check the permission for the current request
        middleware(self)

Documentation

The authorization determines a request based on {subject, object, action}, which means what subject can perform what action on what object. In this plugin, the meanings are:

  1. subject: the logged-in username
  2. object: the URL path for the web resource like dataset1/item1
  3. action: HTTP method like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, or the high-level actions you defined like "read-file", "write-blog"

For how to write authorization policy and other details, please refer to the Casbin's documentation.
