How to Implement Authorization in Django

Hospital System

Description

A Django project for managing a hospital system using Permit.io for authorization. The project includes a RESTful API for managing patients, doctors, and appointments. The API is secured using ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) policies. The project also includes a PDP (Policy Decision Point) microservice for evaluating access control policies.

Features

• ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control)
• CRUD operations
• RESTful API
• User authentication
• Role-based access control
• ReBAC (Relationship-Based Access Control)
