DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter

✓ from rest_framework_guardian.filters import DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter

✗ from rest_framework_guardian.filters import DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter

Enable object-level permissions in a DRF viewset by adding DjangoObjectPermissions to permission_classes and DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter to filter_backends.

from rest_framework import permissions from rest_framework_guardian.filters import DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter from rest_framework_guardian import mixins class MyViewSet(mixins.ListModelMixin, mixins.CreateModelMixin, ...): permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated, permissions.DjangoObjectPermissions] filter_backends = [DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter]

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.4.0 requires Python >=3.10 and drops support for Django <3.2 and DRF <3.12.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.10+ and ensure Django>=3.2, DRF>=3.12.

affects: <0.4.0

gotchaDjangoObjectPermissionsFilter requires that view's queryset supports filtering by user permissions. For complex permission logic, override filter_queryset.

fix

Ensure your model has object permissions assigned via guardian.

affects: all

deprecatedThe mixins module is experimental and may change. Prefer using DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter directly.

fix

Use filter_backends = [DjangoObjectPermissionsFilter] instead of mixins.

affects: <=0.4.0
