## What it is and what it does

Secure Groups is a Django plugin for Alliance Auth that automates EVE Online group membership by applying configurable filters to user accounts. It supports both manual groups (with optional auto-join) and automatic groups that continuously sync membership based on filter results. The package itself provides basic filters (character in alliance/corp, user has group) but is designed to be extended by third-party modules that add domain-specific checks—such as asset location, skill requirements, corporate roles, activity levels, and invoice status. Groups can have grace periods before removal, and users receive notifications via Discord DM or in-auth messages when they fail checks or are removed.

Installation involves adding the package to an Alliance Auth instance, running migrations, and setting up a Celery task for periodic group updates. Configuration happens entirely through Django admin: you create groups, define filters, set grace periods, and link them into Smart Groups with options for auto-join, state-based targeting, and update frequency. The package integrates with Alliance Auth's built-in group management and can post update logs to Discord webhooks.

Use it for:

- Automatically maintain EVE Online alliance groups based on member skill points, corporate roles, or asset holdings.
- Enforce compliance by removing users who fail activity or asset audits after a configurable grace period.
- Sync Discord roles with in-game status (e.g., remove access when a character leaves corp or fails invoice checks).
- Create tiered membership groups that auto-join users meeting specific criteria without manual approval.
- Audit group membership against complex filter logic and notify users of pending removals before they occur.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A Django plugin for Alliance Auth that automates group membership based on configurable filters, supporting manual groups, automatic groups with grace periods, and integrations with third-party filter providers.

Yes, if you run an Alliance Auth instance and need automated group management. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It requires third-party filter modules to be useful beyond basic checks, so verify that the filters you need are available and maintained before committing.

## Install

pip install allianceauth-securegroups
uv add allianceauth-securegroups
poetry add allianceauth-securegroups

## Installing allianceauth-securegroups

Before you install: Active maintenance with a recent release (38 days old) and low install friction; depends only on allianceauth. Supports modern Python versions (3.8–3.13) and works with Django 4.0 and 4.2.

License in practice: MIT license (permissive) allows free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

# Then configure Smart Groups and Filters via Django admin.

Requires an existing Alliance Auth installation and Django 4.0 or 4.2; creates an hourly Celery task for group updates.
