Trying to manage django-guardian object-level permissions with django-rest-framework the most cleanly and canon possible.
I want to assign a read permission (module.view_object) of an object to to the user making the request when performing a POST.
My class-based view:
class ObjectList(ListCreateAPIView):
queryset = Object.objects.all()
serializer_class = ObjectSerializer
filter_backends = (DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter,)
# MyObjectPermissions inherit from DjangoObjectPermissions and just
# add the 'view_model' permission
permission_classes = (MyObjectPermissions,)
def perform_create(self, serializer):
serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)
As described in the django-rest-framework documentation, I've overloaded perform_create in order to pass the user to the serializer.
But how do I assign the permission (using guardian.shortcuts.assign_perm) in the serializer. Is there no other way but to override the save method to assign the permission manually? Isn't there some kind of standard mechanism to manage a common behavior as this one?
