Scenario: Role-Based Access Control for Prasath's Project Management System

  1. Create individual permissions for each user and manually grant them to each project member

  2. Create groups like 'Project Editors' and 'Project Viewers', assign appropriate permissions to each group, then add users to groups based on their roles

  3. Use Django's default User model to store role information directly without creating groups

  4. Implement role-based access by modifying Django's core authentication system

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

Create groups like 'Project Editors' and 'Project Viewers', assign appropriate permissions to each group, then add users to groups based on their roles

Explanation

In a multi-role system, permissions should be assigned to groups representing roles (Editor, Viewer, Admin). Users inherit permissions through group membership, and object-level permissions can be added for fine-grained control.
