Permissions

Functions used to control access to views (Permission Denied returned when false)

and to enable/disable interactions in the templates.

Default permissions module can be swapped out in settings. Defaults use django’s built in content_type permissions for the Document model.

Each function takes the request use and the view’s kwargs as arguments,

returns True iff user has the required permission for the given object(s).
