How do I implement permissions in Django?

To implement permissions in Django, you can use the built-in permissions framework. You can define custom permissions in your models and use the @permission_required decorator to restrict access.

Can you show me an example of defining custom permissions?

Sure! In your model, you can add a Meta class like this:

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

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_edit'):
    # user has permission

What about using Django Rest Framework for permissions?

Django Rest Framework (DRF) provides a more flexible way to handle permissions. You can create custom permission classes by extending BasePermission and overriding the has_permission method.
