How to configure database permissions for a Django app?
database, django, permissions, security
Solution
From the django docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/
If you plan to use Django’s manage.py syncdb command to automatically create database tables for your models (after first installing Django and creating a project), you’ll need to ensure that Django has permission to create and alter tables in the database you’re using; if you plan to manually create the tables, you can simply grant Django SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions. On some databases, Django will need ALTER TABLE privileges during syncdb but won’t issue ALTER TABLE statements on a table once syncdb has created it. After creating a database user with these permissions, you’ll specify the details in your project’s settings file, see DATABASES for details.
Problem
I'm looking for links, or an answer here, on to how to properly configure the database permissions to secure a Django app? To be clear, I'm looking specifically for material dealing with grants on the database, not permissions within the Django framework itself.
