Set the draft security HTTP header ``Permissions-Policy`` (previously ``Feature-Policy``) on your Django app.



----



**Work smarter and faster** with my book `Boost Your Django DX `__ which covers many ways to improve your development experience.



----



Requirements

------------



Python 3.9 to 3.13 supported.



Django 3.2 to 5.1 supported.



Installation

------------



1. Install with **pip**:



.. code-block:: sh



    python -m pip install django-permissions-policy



2. Add the middleware in your ``MIDDLEWARE`` setting. It’s best to add it

after Django's ``SecurityMiddleware``, so it adds the header at the same point

in your stack:



.. code-block:: python



    MIDDLEWARE = [

        ...,

        "django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware",

        "django_permissions_policy.PermissionsPolicyMiddleware",

        ...,

    ]



3. Add the ``PERMISSIONS_POLICY`` setting to your settings, naming at least one

   feature. Here’s an example that sets a strict policy to disable many

   potentially privacy-invading and annoying features for all scripts:



   .. code-block:: python



       PERMISSIONS_POLICY = {

           "accelerometer": [],

           "ambient-light-sensor": [],

           "autoplay": [],

           "camera": [],

           "display-capture": [],

           "document-domain": [],

           "encrypted-media": [],

           "fullscreen": [],

           "geolocation": [],

           "gyroscope": [],

           "interest-cohort": [],

           "magnetometer": [],

           "microphone": [],

           "midi": [],

           "payment": [],

           "usb": [],

       }



   See below for more information on the setting.



Setting

-------



Change the ``PERMISSIONS_POLICY`` setting to configure the contents of the

header.



The setting should be a dictionary laid out with:



* Keys as the names of browser features - a full list is available on the

  `W3 Spec repository`_. The `MDN article`_ is also worth reading.

* Values as lists of strings, where each string is either an origin, e.g.

  ``'https://example.com'``, or of the special values ``'self'`` or ``'*'``. If

  there is just one value, no containing list is necessary. To represent no

  origins being allowed, use an empty list.



  Note that in the header, domains are wrapped in double quotes - do not

  include these quotes within your Python string, as they will be added by the

  middleware.



.. _W3 Spec repository: https://github.com/w3c/webappsec-permissions-policy/blob/master/features.md

.. _MDN article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Feature_Policy#Browser_compatibility



If the keys or values are invalid, ``ImproperlyConfigured`` will be raised at instantiation time, or when processing a response.

The current feature list is pulled from the JavaScript API with ``document.featurePolicy.allowedFeatures()`` on Chrome and Firefox.

Browsers don’t always recognize all features, depending on the version and configuration.

You may see warnings in the console for unavailable features in the header - these are normally safe to ignore, since django-permissions-policy already validates that you don’t have completely unknown names.



For backwards compatibility with old configuration, the value ``'none'`` is

supported in lists, but ignored - it's preferable to use the empty list

instead. It doesn't make sense to specify ``'none'`` alongside other values.



Examples

~~~~~~~~



Disable geolocation entirely, for the current origin and any iframes:



.. code-block:: python



    PERMISSIONS_POLICY = {

        "geolocation": [],

    }



Allow autoplay from only the current origin and iframes from

``https://archive.org``:



.. code-block:: python



    PERMISSIONS_POLICY = {

        "autoplay": ["self", "https://archive.org"],

    }



Allow autoplay from all origins:



.. code-block:: python



    PERMISSIONS_POLICY = {

        "autoplay": "*",

    }
