Django rest framework permission classes code#

Codename: A code is assigned to each Permission which denotes what permission (magic) the user can do on a particular model.Content_type: to access the Model with a high level of interface.Name: denotes the name of the permission.Removing all the unnecessary code to better understand the topic.

In Django authorization is handled by Permission Model (provided by Django itself). This authorization layer checks if the user is authorized (or has magic) to view the Ninjas. So we have to add an Authorization layer before accessing the API. Right now everyone can access the API and can view all the Ninja details. Function-based Django API which returns a list of Ninjas Response of List of Ninja Here is the snippet of the code and its response.

I will create an API that returns a list of Ninja names (from Naruto Anime, I do recommend watching it 😉). Let’s create a Django project and an app, I am skipping the process of setting up a Django project.

Users who do not have magic (or are muggles 😂) to perform on an API will return a response with the status code 403.

An unidentified or Un-authenticated response means the User is not identified and will return the status code 401.

Authorization means what magic can User do on a particular API.

Authentication means identifying which User is using the API.

Before starting just a few starter points. As Authorization is not language specific concept, I will not talk about Authorization in general. Well no, in this blog I try to explain to you the Authorization and how it can be implemented in Django and Django Rest Framework.

Another BLOG on Authentication VS Authorization 🙁.
