How do I implement permissions and authorization in Django?

In Django, you can manage permissions and authorization using the built-in authentication system. You can define permissions in your models and use decorators or mixins to restrict access to views.

Can you give me an example of how to create a custom permission?

Sure! You can create a custom permission by adding a Meta class to your model. For example:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    # fields here
    class Meta:
        permissions = [
            ('can_edit', 'Can edit my model'),
        ]

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

You can use the user.has_perm('app_label.permission_name') method in your view. For example:

if request.user.has_perm('myapp.can_edit'):
    # allow editing
else:
    # deny access
