Django: Hide button in template, if user is not super-user
DjangoDjango ModelsDjango FormsDjango TemplatesDjango UsersDjango Problem Overview
How do you get your template/view to recognize whether or not a logged in user is a super user or not?
There are certain buttons on my forms (in the template) that I want completely hidden if the user is not a super-user
How would you go about doing that?
Django Solutions
Solution 1 - Django
Check out is_superuser
on the User
object:
{% if request.user.is_superuser %}
...
<button>...</button>
...
{% else %}
...
{% endif %}
EDIT: after @mustafa-0x comments
The above assumes that you have django.core.context_processors.request
included in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
setting which isn't the default.
The default setting for TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static',
'django.core.context_processors.tz',
# 'django.core.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
)
already includes the django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth
(and notably doesn't include the request
context processor) meaning that in most cases you will already have access to {{ user }}
without the need to add it to your context via the view, or enable the request
context processor to access the user as above via {{ request.user }}
Solution 2 - Django
As discussed in the comments, you can use the User
object that is available in templates automatically:
{% if user.is_superuser %}
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
You are logged in as {{user.first_name}}, here are the
<a href="/admin/">admin pages</a> for changing content.
</div>
{% endif %}
You can also use user.is_staff
which might be more appropriate.
Solution 3 - Django
Actually when you try to check on the login html template weather the user is superuser or not you will not be able to do that because at that very instance it will be false you can check it in views.py file that user is super or not and then redirect it where ever you want. you can do some thing like this as you can see in start function
