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

By the way, if you're using class-based views, you should wrap your decorator in the method_decorator decorator (go figure):

class MyView(DetailView):
    ...
    @method_decorator(permission_required('polls.can_vote', login_url=reverse_lazy('my_login')))
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        .... blah ....

class MyModel(models.Model):
    ...
    def has_perm(self perm, obj=None):
        if perm == 'polls.canvote':
            return self.can_vote()
