I am using django admin back end for creating user groups. I created a group called admin and assigned several permissions to it.
But when I assign this group admin to a user the permissions of that group are not automatically assigned to the user.
The django docs say that:
A user in a group automatically has the permissions granted to that group.
For example, if the group Site editors has the permission can_edit_home_page,
any user in that group will have that permission.
Can someone please tell me if I understood it correctly or not? Or do I need to write some code myself to assign permissions of a group to a user.
I am using django rest framework and south and postgres as database.
Also I checked using the django shell that,
when I assign a user specific permissions manually they get assigned. Also when I assign a group specific permissions they also get assigned to that group.
But when I assign a group to a user, the group gets assigned but the the groups permissions are not.
