Group Permissions programmatically

[Frank Semaganga]

Hi!

I am having a challenge . My aim is to be able to assign some group permissions when the group is created. In admin.py I have a custom GroupAdmin class  on which I have the function save customized but the challenge is everything else get saved and reflected on admin page including user permissions(if i set permissions to the user direct) but the group permissions seems to be saved but when I go to admin page they are not assigned.

Can you share you experience !

        permits = Permission.objects.filter(content_type__app_label='myapp')

        ####Saved but not updated on Admin page

        obj.permissions=permits

        obj.save()

        #####Works Perfect and changes seen on admin page

        user = User.objects.create_user('username12', '', 'password')

        user.groups.add(obj)

        user.user_permissions=perms

        user.is_staff=True

        user.save()

obj is an object of Group.

Hi,

Why don't you use the same approach that is generally used with users? I mean you connect a signal to your User/Group model, that changes permission for created objects, like so:

@receiver(post_save, sender=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

def create_user_permissions(instance=None, created=None, **kwargs) -> None:

    if created:

        instance.user_permissions.add(...)  # add actual Permission objects here
