✅

Here is an example of how you might use Django’s Basic Authentication when presenting Users as RESTful resources:

# REST endpoint for authenticating user accounts
class UserResource(ModelResource):

    class Meta:
        queryset = User.objects.all()
        resource_name = 'auth/user'
        authentication = BasicAuthentication()
        authorization = DjangoAuthorization()

    def apply_authorization_limits(self, request, object_list):
        return object_list.filter(username=request.user)

Authentication can be as simple as the one line:

        authentication = BasicAuthentication()

depending on how you implement it.
