In Django, user permissions can be set in the following ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  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.<\/li>\n
  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.<\/li>\n
  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.<\/li>\n
  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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
