Django User Permissions: Complete Guide

In Django, user permissions can be set in the following ways:

  1. Utilize the built-in user permission system: Django comes with a built-in user permission system, allowing you to define permissions in the models, assign permissions to user groups, and then add users to the corresponding user group to set user permissions.
  2. By utilizing decorators, Django offers some decorators like @login_required and @permission_required, which can be used in view functions to restrict user access.
  3. Custom permissions: In addition to using the built-in user permission system, you can also customize permissions by writing custom validation logic to check if a user has specific permissions.
  4. Utilizing third-party libraries like Django, as well as additional libraries such as django-guardian and django-rules, allows for more flexibility in setting user permissions and provides a wider range of features and options.

In conclusion, the above methods can be used in Django to set user permissions, protect sensitive data and functions of the application, ensuring that users can only access content they have permission for.
