✅

The following answer helped me in setting up groups.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group, Permission
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType

content_type = ContentType.objects.get(app_label='myapp', model='BlogPost')
permission = Permission.objects.create(codename='can_publish',
                                       name='Can Publish Posts',
                                       content_type=content_type)
user = User.objects.get(username='duke_nukem')
group = Group.objects.get(name='wizard')
group.permissions.add(permission)
user.groups.add(group)

You can add this permissions through the shell python manage.py shell and then entering the code above.

#create has_permission static method in Util class
class Util :

    role_group = UserGroup.objects.filter(user = user).values_list('role_group_id', flat = True)
    permission_names = RolePermission.objects.filter(role_group_id__in = role_group).values_list('permission_name', flat = True)
    if permission_name in permission_names:
        return True
    return False



#Call Permisson Methods 
if Util.has_permission(request.user, 'can_edit_address') :
    // Not have permisson code  
else :
    // Have permisson code
