How can 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 how to define permissions in a model?

Sure! You can define permissions in your model's Meta class like this:

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

How do I assign these permissions to a user?

You can assign permissions to a user using the user.user_permissions.add() method. For example:

user.user_permissions.add(permission_instance)

What if I want to check if a user has a specific permission?

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

user.has_perm('app_label.can_do_something')
