Authentication and Authorization package for Taipy

Available in Taipy Enterprise only

This package exists only in the Enterprise edition of Taipy.

The taipy.auth package provides features that make it possible for a Taipy application to identify an end-user and provide different capabilities depending on the user's identity.

Two steps have to be differentiated:

• Authentication: is the process that verifies that a user is known by the system. This is performed by a login step (see taipy.auth.login() function for more details). It creates an instance of the Credentials class that holds the relevant user information, whose identity has usually been verified using a password.
  For more details, please refer to the authentication section of the user manual.

• Authorization: Authorization is the process of driving the application logic differently depending on the user using it. The Authorize context manager lets you create a block of code within which the functions and methods requiring authorization will find the relevant information (typically the user roles) in the Credentials object passed to the Authorize context manager.
  For more details, please refer to the authorization section of the user manual.
