"""
The :mod:`authentication` module provides a set of pluggable authentication classes.
Authentication behavior is provided by mixing the :class:`mixins.AuthMixin` class into a :class:`View` class.
The set of authentication methods which are used is then specified by setting the
:attr:`authentication` attribute on the :class:`View` class, and listing a set of :class:`authentication` classes.

permissions classes (see the :mod:`permissions` module) on the view can
handle the object and use it to determine if the request has the required
permissions or not.

may be more involved than simply mapping to a :obj:`User`.
