There is one last thing that I'm a bit confused about in the Django Rest Framework, and that differs between permission classes and authentication classes .
these are my settings .py
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.permissions.IsAdminUser',
),
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
),
'PAGINATE_BY': 10
}
and in my opinion I have the following ...
class ProfileList(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
"""
API endpoint that represents a list of users.
"""
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
model = Profile
serializer_class = ProfileSerializer
def pre_save(self, obj):
obj.owner = self.request.user
What I assumed would happen with the above is that only admin users had access to the browser API, while a user with a valid token could receive a json request. However, this is not the case when IsAuthenticated seems to give them access, but = this still allows my users access to the online version at login.
