# Permissions
> This section covers the underlying code use of permissions. If you just want to learn how to
practically assign permissions in-game, refer to the [Building Permissions](../Concepts/Building-Permissions)
page, which details how you use the `perm` command.
A *permission* is simply a list of text strings stored in the handler `permissions` on `Objects`
and `Accounts`. Permissions can be used as a convenient way to structure access levels and
hierarchies. It is set by the `perm` command. Permissions are especially handled by the `perm()` and
`pperm()` lock functions listed above.
Let's say we have a `red_key` object. We also have red chests that we want to unlock with this key.
perm red_key = unlocks_red_chests
This gives the `red_key` object the permission "unlocks_red_chests". Next we lock our red chests:
lock red chest = unlock:perm(unlocks_red_chests)
What this lock will expect is to the fed the actual key object. The `perm()` lock function will
check the permissions set on the key and only return true if the permission is the one given.
Finally we need to actually check this lock somehow. Let's say the chest has an command `open <key>`
sitting on itself. Somewhere in its code the command needs to figure out which key you are using and
test if this key has the correct permission:
```python
# self.obj is the chest
# and used_key is the key we used as argument to
# the command. The self.caller is the one trying
# to unlock the chest
if not self.obj.access(used_key, "unlock"):
self.caller.msg("The key does not fit!")
return
```
All new accounts are given a default set of permissions defined by
`settings.PERMISSION_ACCOUNT_DEFAULT`.
Selected permission strings can be organized in a *permission hierarchy* by editing the tuple
`settings.PERMISSION_HIERARCHY`. Evennia's default permission hierarchy is as follows:
Developer # like superuser but affected by locks
Admin # can administrate accounts
Builder # can edit the world
Helper # can edit help files
Player # can chat and send tells (default level)
(Also the plural form works, so you could use `Developers` etc too).
> There is also a `Guest` level below `Player` that is only active if `settings.GUEST_ENABLED` is
set. This is never part of `settings.PERMISSION_HIERARCHY`.
The main use of this is that if you use the lock function `perm()` mentioned above, a lock check for
a particular permission in the hierarchy will *also* grant access to those with *higher* hierarchy
access. So if you have the permission "Admin" you will also pass a lock defined as `perm(Builder)`
or any of those levels below "Admin".
When doing an access check from an [Object](./Objects) or Character, the `perm()` lock function will
always first use the permissions of any Account connected to that Object before checking for
permissions on the Object. In the case of hierarchical permissions (Admins, Builders etc), the
Account permission will always be used (this stops an Account from escalating their permission by
puppeting a high-level Character). If the permission looked for is not in the hierarchy, an exact
match is required, first on the Account and if not found there (or if no Account is connected), then
on the Object itself.
Here is how you use `perm` to give an account more permissions:
perm/account Tommy = Builders
perm/account/del Tommy = Builders # remove it again
Note the use of the `/account` switch. It means you assign the permission to the
[Accounts](./Accounts) Tommy instead of any [Character](./Objects) that also happens to be named
"Tommy".
Putting permissions on the *Account* guarantees that they are kept, *regardless* of which Character
they are currently puppeting. This is especially important to remember when assigning permissions
from the *hierarchy tree* - as mentioned above, an Account's permissions will overrule that of its
character. So to be sure to avoid confusion you should generally put hierarchy permissions on the
Account, not on their Characters (but see also [quelling](./Locks#Quelling)).
Below is an example of an object without any connected account
```python
obj1.permissions = ["Builders", "cool_guy"]
obj2.locks.add("enter:perm_above(Accounts) and perm(cool_guy)")
obj2.access(obj1, "enter") # this returns True!
```
And one example of a puppet with a connected account:
```python
account.permissions.add("Accounts")
puppet.permissions.add("Builders", "cool_guy")
obj2.locks.add("enter:perm_above(Accounts) and perm(cool_guy)")
obj2.access(puppet, "enter") # this returns False!
```
## Superusers
There is normally only one *superuser* account and that is the one first created when starting
Evennia (User #1). This is sometimes known as the "Owner" or "God" user. A superuser has more than
full access - it completely *bypasses* all locks so no checks are even run. This allows for the
superuser to always have access to everything in an emergency. But it also hides any eventual errors
you might have made in your lock definitions. So when trying out game systems you should either use
quelling (see below) or make a second Developer-level character so your locks get tested correctly.
## Quelling
The `quell` command can be used to enforce the `perm()` lockfunc to ignore permissions on the
Account and instead use the permissions on the Character only. This can be used e.g. by staff to
test out things with a lower permission level. Return to the normal operation with `unquell`. Note
that quelling will use the smallest of any hierarchical permission on the Account or Character, so
one cannot escalate one's Account permission by quelling to a high-permission Character. Also the
superuser can quell their powers this way, making them affectable by locks.

# Permissions
A *permission* is simply a text string stored in the handler `permissions` on `Objects`
and `Accounts`. Think of it as a specialized sort of [Tag](./Tags) - one specifically dedicated
to access checking. They are thus often tightly coupled to [Locks](./Locks).
Permissions are used as a convenient way to structure access levels and
hierarchies. It is set by the `perm` command. Permissions are especially
handled by the `perm()` and `pperm()` [lock functions](./Locks).
Let's say we have a `red_key` object. We also have red chests that we want to unlock with this key.
perm red_key = unlocks_red_chests
This gives the `red_key` object the permission "unlocks_red_chests". Next we
lock our red chests:
lock red chest = unlock:perm(unlocks_red_chests)
When trying to unlock the red chest with this key, the chest Typeclass could
then take the key and do an access check:
```python
# in some typeclass file where chest is defined
class TreasureChest(Object):
# ...
def open_chest(self, who, tried_key):
if not chest.access(who, tried_key, "unlock"):
who.msg("The key does not fit!")

# Evennia REST API
Evennia makes its database accessible via a REST API found on
[http://localhost:4001/api](http://localhost:4001/api) if running locally with
default setup. The API allows you to retrieve, edit and create resources from
outside the game, for example with your own custom client or game editor.
While you can view and learn about the api in the web browser, it is really
meant to be accessed in code, by other programs.
The API is using [Django Rest Framework][drf]. This automates the process
of setting up _views_ (Python code) to process the result of web requests.
The process of retrieving data is similar to that explained on the
[Webserver](./Webserver) page, except the views will here return [JSON][json]
data for the resource you want. You can also _send_ such JSON data
in order to update the database from the outside.
## Usage
To activate the API, add this to your settings file.
REST_API_ENABLED = True
The main controlling setting is `REST_FRAMEWORK`, which is a dict. The keys
`DEFAULT_LIST_PERMISSION` and `DEFAULT_CREATE_PERMISSIONS` control who may
view and create new objects via the api respectively. By default, users with
['Builder'-level permission](./Permissions) or higher may access both actions.
While the api is meant to be expanded upon, Evennia supplies several operations
out of the box. If you click the `Autodoc` button in the upper right of the `/api`
website you'll get a fancy graphical presentation of the available endpoints.
Here is an example of calling the api in Python using the standard `requests` library.
>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get("https://www.mygame.com/api", auth=("MyUsername", "password123"))
>>> response.json()
{'accounts': 'http://www.mygame.com/api/accounts/',
'objects': 'http://www.mygame.com/api/objects/',
'characters': 'http://www.mygame.comg/api/characters/',
'exits': 'http://www.mygame.com/api/exits/',
'rooms': 'http://www.mygame.com/api/rooms/',
'scripts': 'http://www.mygame.com/api/scripts/'
'helpentries': 'http://www.mygame.com/api/helpentries/' }
To list a specific type of object:
>>> response = requests.get("https://www.mygame.com/api/objects",
auth=("Myusername", "password123"))
>>> response.json()
{
"count": 125,
"next": "https://www.mygame.com/api/objects/?limit=25&offset=25",
"previous": null,
"results" : [{"db_key": "A rusty longsword", "id": 57, "db_location": 213, ...}]}
In the above example, it now displays the objects inside the "results" array,
while it has a "count" value for the number of total objects, and "next" and
"previous" links for the next and previous page, if any. This is called
[pagination][pagination], and the link displays "limit" and "offset" as query
parameters that can be added to the url to control the output.
Other query parameters can be defined as [filters][filters] which allow you to
further narrow the results. For example, to only get accounts with developer
permissions:
>>> response = requests.get("https://www.mygame.com/api/accounts/?permission=developer",
auth=("MyUserName", "password123"))
>>> response.json()
{
"count": 1,
"results": [{"username": "bob",...}]
}
Now suppose that you want to use the API to create an [Object](./Objects):
>>> data = {"db_key": "A shiny sword"}
>>> response = requests.post("https://www.mygame.com/api/objects",
data=data, auth=("Anotherusername", "mypassword"))
>>> response.json()
{"db_key": "A shiny sword", "id": 214, "db_location": None, ...}
Here we made a HTTP POST request to the `/api/objects` endpoint with the `db_key`
we wanted. We got back info for the newly created object. You can now make
another request with PUT (replace everything) or PATCH (replace only what you
provide). By providing the id to the endpoint (`/api/objects/214`),
we make sure to update the right sword:
>>> data = {"db_key": "An even SHINIER sword", "db_location": 50}
>>> response = requests.put("https://www.mygame.com/api/objects/214",
data=data, auth=("Anotherusername", "mypassword"))
>>> response.json()
{"db_key": "An even SHINIER sword", "id": 214, "db_location": 50, ...}
In most cases, you won't be making API requests to the backend with Python,
but with Javascript from some frontend application.
There are many Javascript libraries which are meant to make this process
easier for requests from the frontend, such as [AXIOS][axios], or using
the native [Fetch][fetch].
## Customizing the API
Overall, reading up on [Django Rest Framework ViewSets](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/viewsets) and
other parts of their documentation is required for expanding and
customizing the API.
Check out the [Website](Website) page for help on how to override code, templates
and static files.
- API templates (for the web-display) is located in `evennia/web/api/templates/rest_framework/` (it must
be named such to allow override of the original REST framework templates).
- Static files is in `evennia/web/api/static/rest_framework/`
- The api code is located in `evennia/web/api/` - the `url.py` file here is responsible for
collecting all view-classes.
Contrary to other web components, there is no pre-made urls.py set up for
`mygame/web/api/`. This is because the registration of models with the api is
strongly integrated with the REST api functionality. Easiest is probably to
copy over `evennia/web/api/urls.py` and modify it in place.
