How do I manage permissions in Django REST Framework?

In Django REST Framework, you can manage permissions by using the permissions module. You can set global permissions in your settings or define them at the view level.

Can you give me an example of setting permissions for a specific view?

Sure! You can use the @permission_classes decorator to specify permissions for a view. For example:

from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, permission_classes

@api_view(['GET'])
@permission_classes([IsAuthenticated])
def my_view(request):
    # Your view logic here

What are some common permission classes I can use?

Some common permission classes include AllowAny, IsAuthenticated, IsAdminUser, and DjangoModelPermissions. You can also create custom permissions.

How do I create a custom permission?

To create a custom permission, subclass BasePermission and implement the has_permission method. Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework.permissions import BasePermission

class IsOwner(BasePermission):
    def has_permission(self, request, view):
        return request.user == view.get_object().owner
