"Every web2py application is a CAS provider and can optionally be a CAS consumer." So any application you have which uses authentication IS a CAS provider. This is in the book, which you have read. http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control On Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 8:41:06

if your CSV has col names that match a table field names (as defined in web2py's db.define_table) you simply do db.define_table('workers',Field('w_organisation'),, migrate=False) db.workers.import_from_csv_file(open('filename.csv')) migrate=False because I assume the table already exists in
