How do I use permission decorators in Django?

In Django, permission decorators are used to restrict access to views based on user permissions. You can use decorators like @permission_required to enforce this.

Can you show me an example of using @permission_required?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import permission_required

@permission_required('app_name.can_edit', raise_exception=True)
def edit_view(request):
    # Your view logic here
    return HttpResponse('You can edit!')

What if the user doesn't have permission?

If the user doesn't have permission, the raise_exception=True argument will raise a PermissionDenied exception, which you can handle in your application.

Are there other decorators I can use?

Yes, besides @permission_required, you can use @login_required to ensure the user is logged in, or create custom decorators for specific needs.
