Simple class based permissions.

Installation

1. Install using pip:

   pip install django-perm
   

2. In settings.py:

   # Add to INSTALLED_APPS
   'perm',
   
   # Add to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
   'perm.backends.ModelPermissionBackend',
   

3. In your main urls.py, at the end add:

from perm.permissions import ModelPermissions

from .models import Foo


@permissions_for(Foo)
class FooPermissions(ModelPermissions):

    def has_perm_wiggle(self):
        # Let's ask the Foo object
        return self.obj.user_can_wiggle(self.user)

    def get_queryset_perm_change(self):
        # Foo objects can be changed by their owners
        return Foo.objects.filter(user=self.user)
