Question

I want to get a list of all Django auth user with a specific permission group, something like this:

user_dict = {
    \'queryset\': User.objects.filter(permi         


        

Answer 1

Based on @Glader's answer, this function wraps it up in a single query, and has been modified to algo get the superusers (as by definition, they have all perms):

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models import Q

def users_with_perm(perm_name):
    return User.objects.filter(
        Q(is_superuser=True) |
        Q(user_permissions__codename=perm_name) |
        Q(groups__permissions__codename=perm_name)).distinct()

# Example:
queryset = users_with_perm('blogger')
