You can expand your .add() statement slightly, by passing it an object
instead of an id:
request.user.user_permissions.add(Permission.objects.get(name='some
permission name'))
You could alternatively do a lookup with the "codename='some_name'"
instead of the human-readable name. The codename is arguably less
prone to change than the straight "name" parameter.
Just be sure to import the Permission model. It in
django.contrib.auth.models
