How to get user permissions?

to get all the permissions of a given user, also the permissions associated with a group this user is part of:

from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission

def get_user_permissions(user):
    if user.is_superuser:
        return Permission.objects.all()
    return user.user_permissions.all() | Permission.objects.filter(group__user=user)

we can get user permission from user objects directly into a list like this

perm_list = user_obj.user_permissions.all().values_list('codename', flat=True)

Try this....

The key is get the permission objects like this:

from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission
permissions = Permission.objects.filter(user=user)

and there you can access the id property like this:

permissions[0].id

If you want the list (id, permission_name) do the following:

perm_tuple = [(x.id, x.name) for x in Permission.objects.filter(user=user)]

Hope it helps!

If you are using Django 3.0+, user.get_user_permissions() gives the codename of all the permissions.
