> 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

```
