auth.decorators.user_passes_test()

user_passes_test(test_func, login_url=None, redirect_field_name='next') [source]

As a shortcut, you can use the convenient user_passes_test decorator which performs a redirect when the callable returns False:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test

def email_check(user):
    return user.email.endswith('@example.com')

@user_passes_test(email_check)
def my_view(request):
    ...

user_passes_test() takes a required argument: a callable that takes a User object and returns True if the user is allowed to view the page. Note that user_passes_test() does not automatically check that the User is not anonymous.

user_passes_test() takes two optional arguments:

login_url

Lets you specify the URL that users who don’t pass the test will be redirected to. It may be a login page and defaults to settings.LOGIN_URL if you don’t specify one.

redirect_field_name

Same as for login_required(). Setting it to None removes it from the URL, which you may want to do if you are redirecting users that don’t pass the test to a non-login page where there’s no “next page”.

For example:

@user_passes_test(email_check, login_url='/login/')
def my_view(request):
    ...
