How to restrict a class based view to one user group?

[Daniel Grace]

Hi,

Say I have a function as follows:

def is_supervisor(user):

    return user.groups.filter(name='supervisor').exists()

...and a CBV for deleting records:

class DeleteFlow(DeleteView):

    # etc...

How can I restrict access to this view using the function?

I understand that this may be possible with a mixin, but how?

Or is there a better way?

Thanks

Hi Daniel.

You're looking for the `user_passes_test` decorator:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/auth/default/#limiting-access-to-logged-in-users-that-pass-a-test

Remember you need to decorate the `dispatch` method of a CBV.

I solved this using a "method_decorator" and "user_passes_test".

Thanks Bruno, I was decorating the 'post' method.  I've got it right now.
