    | Elevate mode offers an extra layer of security for your most sensitive pages.

    | This is an implementation of GitHub's `Sudo Mode`_ for `Django`_.

What is this for?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elevate provides an extra layer of security beyond initial user authentication.

Views can be decorated with ``@elevate_required``, and then users must

re-authenticate to access that resource. This might be useful for deleting objects,

canceling subscriptions, and other sensitive operations. After re-authentication,

the user has elevated permissions for the duration of ``ELEVATE_COOKIE_AGE``.

This duration is independent of the normal session duration, allowing for short

elevated permission durations while still retaining long user sessions.
