Add roles to (anonymous or logged-in) visitors based on their IP address.
Project description
Introduction
AutoRole allows you to assign certain roles to users from certain subnets.
There is an extractor and authentication plugin included to enable additional roles for anonymous users. This is required since PAS does not support roles (or properties and groups) for anonymous users. You can disable these interfaces if only logged-in users should get additional roles.
We also provide a groups plugin interface, to assign groups instead of roles.
IPRangePlugin is similar but logs in users based on IP address.
Upstream Proxies
If your Zope server is hosted behind one or more proxies, be sure to list these in the zope.conf file, using the trusted-proxy directive. AutoRole depends on Zope’s HTTPRequest to parse out the client IP address, and it in turn uses the trusted-proxy directive to filter out proxy IP addresses.
