An example CLI tool in Python demonstrating how to integrate Pangea's AuthN and AuthZ services into a LangChain app to filter out RAG documents based on user permissions.
- Python v3.12 or greater.
- pip v24.2 or uv v0.4.18.
- A Pangea account with AuthN and AuthZ enabled.
- An OpenAI API key.
- libmagic
After activating AuthN, under AuthN > General > Redirect (Callback) Settings,
add http://localhost:3000
as a redirect and save.
Under AuthN > Users > New > Create User, create at least one user.
The setup in AuthZ should look something like this:
Name | Permissions |
---|---|
engineering | read |
finance | read |
Tip
At this point you need to create 2 new Roles under the Roles & Access
tab in the Pangea console named engineering
and finance
.
Resource type | Permissions (read) |
---|---|
engineering | ✔️ |
finance | ❌ |
Resource type | Permissions (read) |
---|---|
engineering | ❌ |
finance | ✔️ |
Subject type | Subject ID | Role/Relation |
---|---|---|
user | your AuthN username | engineering |
user | [email protected] | finance |
Note: Change or add assigned roles for your user to change permissions and access over time.
git clone https://github.com/pangeacyber/langchain-python-user-authn.git
cd langchain-python-user-authn
This is included in Windows via the python-magic-bin package
On macOS, you can install via this shell command:
brew install libmagic
If using pip:
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install .
Or, if using uv:
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate
The sample can then be executed with:
python -m langchain_user_authn "What is the software architecture of the company?"
Usage: python -m langchain_user_authn [OPTIONS] PROMPT
Options:
--authn-client-token TEXT Pangea AuthN Client API token. May also be set
via the `PANGEA_AUTHN_CLIENT_TOKEN` environment
variable. [required]
--authn-hosted-login TEXT Pangea AuthN Hosted Login URL. May also be set
via the `PANGEA_AUTHN_HOSTED_LOGIN` environment
variable. [required]
--authz-token SECRET Pangea AuthZ API token. May also be set via the
`PANGEA_AUTHZ_TOKEN` environment variable.
[required]
--pangea-domain TEXT Pangea API domain. May also be set via the
`PANGEA_DOMAIN` environment variable. [default:
aws.us.pangea.cloud; required]
--model TEXT OpenAI model. [default: gpt-4o-mini; required]
--openai-api-key SECRET OpenAI API key. May also be set via the
`OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
[required]
--help Show this message and exit.
Let's assume the current user is "[email protected]" and that they should have permission to see engineering documents. They can query the LLM on information regarding those documents:
$ python -m langchain_user_authn "What is the software architecture of the company?"
This will open a new tab in the user's default web browser where they can login through AuthN. Afterwards, their permissions are checked against AuthZ and they will indeed receive a response that is derived from the engineering documents:
The company's software architecture consists of a frontend built with ReactJS,
Redux, and Axios, along with Material-UI for design components. The backend
utilizes Node.js and Express.js, with MongoDB as the database. Authentication
and authorization are managed through JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and OAuth 2.0, and
version control is handled using Git and GitHub.
But they cannot query finance information:
$ python -m langchain_user_authn "What is the top salary in the Engineering department?"
[login flow]
I don't know the answer to that question, and you may not be authorized to know the answer.
And vice versa for "[email protected]", who is in finance but not engineering.
