How do I raise a Response Forbidden in django

Question

if you want to raise an exception you can use:

from django.core.exceptions import PermissionDenied

def your_view(...):
    raise PermissionDenied()

It is documented here :

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/views/#the-403-http-forbidden-view

As opposed to returing HttpResponseForbidden, raising PermissionDenied causes the error to be rendered using the 403.html template, or you can use middleware to show a custom “Forbidden” view.
