Permissions

Note: This is not required for pages.

The Page model already provides this interface.

We have the following basic permission requirements:

• You must have wagtailadmin.access_admin to edit a block/field.
• You must have the appropriate app_label.change_* permission for the model.

This however only applies to editing.

We use separate permissions for publishing and submitting workflows, etc.

Models which you want to allow the publish view for should also implement a PermissionTester- like object.

Example of how you should implement the Tester object and all required permissions. (More details in models.py)
