> Sudo mode is an extra layer of security for your most sensitive pages.
> This is an implementation of GitHub's [Sudo Mode](https://github.com/blog/1513-introducing-github-sudo-mode) for [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/).## What is this for?
`django-sudo` provides an extra layer of security for after a user is already logged in. Views can
be decorated with `@sudo_required`, and then a user
must re-enter their password to view that page. After verifying their password, that user has
elevated permissions for the duration of `SUDO_COOKIE_AGE`. This duration is independent of the
normal session duration allowing short elevated permission durations, but retain long user sessions.## Installation
```console
$ pip install django-sudo
