I am creating simple API using flask, and I want to check if user which is trying to access is admin. This is function which should decide if user is admin or not

def admin_required(f):
    wraps(f)
    @jwt_required()
    def decorated_function(*args, **kwargs):
        current_user = get_jwt_identity()
        if current_user != "test1":
            return jsonify(admin=False), 200
        return f(*args, **kwargs)
    return decorated_function()

And this is endpoint

@app.route("/am_i_admin", methods= ["GET"])
@jwt_required()
@admin_required
def am_i_admin():
    return jsonify(admin=True), 200

I am getting this error

I don’t know where is the problem, I did this according this documentation. Could someone help me how to solve this issue?

Answer

Is the indentation in your post what is actually in your code, because it is indented wrong. Here is an example of an authentication check (not an admin check), but you can see how the indentation should look. You are also missing the decorator on wraps(f).

def requires_auth(f):
    @wraps(f)
    def decorated(*args, **kwargs):
        auth = request.authorization
        if not auth or not check_auth(auth.username, auth.password):
            return authenticate()
        return f(*args, **kwargs)
    return decorated

Python decorator – Check if user is admin
