In Django, how do I check if a user is in a certain group?

Question

I created a custom group in Django\'s admin site.

In my code, I want to check if a user is in this group. How do I do that?

You just need one line:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test  

@user_passes_test(lambda u: u.groups.filter(name='companyGroup').exists())
def you_view():
    return HttpResponse("Since you're logged in, you can see this text!")
