Limit a view to superuser only

[yingi keme]

I have a function that i want to be accessed only if the user is a supersuser.

I have tried this

from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_required

@staff_member_required

def my_view(request):

    template_name = 'Core\CustomizedAdmin.html'

    return render(request, template_name)

What happens is that when i try to access this view, it directs me to the default login admin page. 

And then when i login as a superuser, it gives an OSError invalid argument:

I expected that after login in as a superuser it will redirect to the Page i want.

Am i doing it the wrong way?

Is there an alternative way to Limit a view to superuser only?

Hi.

Could you paste the full traceback here because having an OSError sounds like there is is something else wrong in your system.

All of a sudden and out of the blue, it just worked. I had the re-run my server

Bear in mind that unless you are running Django's built-in dev server, you will need to restart your production server for changes to propagate.
