This is probably very simple, but I've been hitting walls ever since I started...
I have a model A that contains a link to another model B. B has an "owner" attribute. This owner attribute is translated as a per object permission using guardian. Models: class Service (models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=128, unique=True) owner = models.ForeignKey(User) class Deliverable (models.Model): project = models.ForeignKey(Project) service = models.ForeignKey(Service) I would like to allow editing Deliverable only if the current user is allowed to change the corresponding Service. To that end, I tried to subclass UpdateView: class UpdateDeliverableView(UpdateView): def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs): # Check guardian permissions here return super(ValidateServiceView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs) in order to check guardian permissions, I need to access the Service from this view. But I can't seem to find how to access the Deliverable: self.get_object() does not work (complains that UpdateDeliverableView has no 'kwargs') How am I supposed to do it ? I also need the current user but self.request.user complains that self has no 'request' Does anyone have an hint as to how I could do that ?
