How to restrict Django Rest Framework browsable API interface to admin users

Question

I\'m developing a Django Rest Framework backend for a mobile app. The API is private and will only ever be used internally.

The browsable API is convenient for helping d

Answer 1

Is `DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES' setting not enough? This sets a default restriction on all views DRF docs on default permission classes

In settings.py:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAdminUser',
    ]
}

They will 'reach' the browsable interface but all types of requests will be denied if not authorized.

If for some reason various end-points needed to be reached by non-admin users, you could loosen the restriction on a view-by-view basis.
