What are Django permissions?

Django permissions are a built-in feature of the Django web framework that allows developers to control access to certain views, URLs, and actions within their application. Permissions help ensure that users can only perform actions that they are authorized to perform, based on their role or level of access within the system.

Django includes several default permissions that can be used out of the box, including:

view - Allows users to view a particular object or page.
add - Allows users to create a new object.
change - Allows users to modify an existing object.
delete - Allows users to delete an existing object.

Permissions can be defined at the model level, allowing developers to control access to entire sets of data, or at the view level, allowing for fine-grained control over who can access specific parts of the application. Permissions can be assigned to users or groups, and can also be used in combination with Django's built-in authentication and authorization features to create complex access control policies
