can we paint a def function with multiple memberships

[lucas]

i am aware of:

@auth.requires_membership('Administrator')

def users():

  etc

however, can we allow for multiple or's, like

@auth.requires_membership('Administrator') or @auth.requires_membership('Manager')

which, of course, is pseudocode cuz i don't really know the syntax.  or perhaps in a set like

@auth.requires_membership(IS_IN_SET(('Administrator','Manager'))

so, can we already do this or can it be suggested?  thanx in advance, lucas

Almost ;)

@auth.requires(auth.has_membership('Administrator') or auth.has_membership('Manager'))

Better to put the condition in a lambda so it only gets evaluated when the decorated function is called rather than every time the controller is called:

@auth.requires(lambda: auth.has_membership('Administrator') or auth.has_membership('Manager'))

We should probably update the book example, as this issue is mentioned immediately before the example.

And if you have a long list of roles to check, you can do something like:

@auth.requires(lambda: any([auth.has_membership(r) for r in ['list', 'of', 'roles']))
