[Django]-User permissions for Django module

I have tried this code in my template:

This kind of complex decision-making goes in the view functions.

Or it goes into the context which is then presented to the template.

When to use context processor

Do this in your view

def my_view( request ):
    followup= user.has_perm('followup.add_followup')
    # etc.
    return render_to_response( template, {'followup':followup,... )

Then your template is simply

{% if followup %}
<li><a href="{% url followup-new p.id %}">Log</a></li>
{% endif %}

Since you are using the Django permission system, it’s better you use the followingg template syntax…

{%if perms.followup.add_followup%}your URL here{%endif%}

EDIT: Django automatically creates 3 permissions for each model, ‘add’, ‘change’ and ‘delete’. If there exists no model for adding a link, then you must add the permission from related model, in the model class Meta… Likewise:

somemodels.py

class SomeModel(Model):
    ...
    class Meta:
    permissions = (('add_followup','Can see add urls'),(...))

In the Django auth user admin page, you can see your permission. In the template layer, permission is presented with the basic Django style,

<app_label>.<codename>

which, in this case, will be like:

{%if perms.somemodels.add_followup%}your URL here{%endif%}

If there is no model, related to the job you wish to do, the add the permission to a model…

In your template, you can write

{{perms.somemodels}}

to seal available permissions to that user, where somemodel is the name of the applicaton that you add your permission to one of its models.

Django documentation detailing answer #2:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#id9

The currently logged-in user’s permissions are stored in the template variable {{ perms }}. This is an instance of django.contrib.auth.context_processors.PermWrapper, which is a template-friendly proxy of permissions.

This is my very simple solution, in your template add this:

for example:

.......

{% if 'user.can_drink' in user.get_all_permissions %}
   {{ user }} can drink.
   .......
{% else %}
   {{ user }} can´t drink.
    ........
{% endif %}
