Adding permissions to views

DRF includes a permission system to restrict access to views. Some of the built-in permissions of DRF are:

  • AllowAny: Unrestricted access, regardless of whether a user is authenticated or not.
  • IsAuthenticated: Allows access to authenticated users only.
  • IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly: Complete access to authenticated users. Anonymous users are only allowed to execute read methods such as GET, HEAD, or OPTIONS.
  • DjangoModelPermissions: Permissions tied to django.contrib.auth. The view requires a queryset attribute. Only authenticated users with model permissions assigned are granted permission.
  • DjangoObjectPermissions: Django permissions on a per-object basis.

If users are denied permission, they will usually get one of the following HTTP error codes:

  • HTTP 401: Unauthorized
  • HTTP 403: Permission denied

You can read more information about permissions at https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api...
