permission_required decorator not working for me

Question

I can\'t figure out why the permission required decorator isn\'t working. I would like to allow access to a view only for staff members. I have tried

@permission         


        

Answer 1

This is how I would do it:

from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_required

@staff_member_required
def series_info(request):
    ...

The documentation says about staff_member_required:

Decorator for views that checks that the user is logged in and is a staff member, displaying the login page if necessary.
