Valid for Django 4.2

[anjanesh]

Is django-role-permissions still valid for Django 4.2 ?

Hi, it should be. If you face any issues, please mention them here.

[anjanesh]

My point being, doesn't Django provide these out of the box now ? Or does django-role-permissions provide something that Django doesn't ?

@anjanesh I see. Which feature of Django 4+ makes permissions role-based?
I looked at the changelogs but couldn't find.

Something I got done using extending Django's default User Model - https://anjane.sh/user-model - Modifying AUTH_USER_MODEL in Django for a brand new Django project

Isn't this what's role based permission is all about ?

I can make selections based on currently logged-in user's roles and groups :

    current_user = request.user

    print("current_user = ", current_user)
    print("current_user's role = ", current_user.role)
    groups = request.user.groups.values_list('name', flat=True)
    
    print("current_user's groups = ", groups)
