How do I manage user permissions in Django?

In Django, you can manage user permissions using the built-in authentication system. You can define permissions in your models and assign them to users or groups.

Can you show me an example of defining permissions in a model?

Sure! You can define permissions in your model like this:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        permissions = [
            ('can_do_something', 'Can do something'),
        ]

How do I check if a user has a specific permission?

You can check if a user has a specific permission using the has_perm method:

if request.user.has_perm('app_label.can_do_something'):
    # User has permission

What about using groups for permissions?

You can assign permissions to groups and then add users to those groups. This way, users inherit the permissions of their groups.
