I would like to check if a user has the permissions (is part of the groups necessary) to view a different page than the current one.
from cms.models.permissionmodels import PagePermission
if PagePermission.objects.filter(page=page_to_check, user=request.user, can_view=True).exists():
always returns false.
How can I check if the user should be able to view the page_to_check?
Thank you!

Reset to default 0The easiest way to check for a user to have the permission to view a page is using cms.utils.page_permissions:
from cms.utils.page_permissions import has_generic_permission
if has_generic_permission(page_to_check, user, "view_page"):
...
This reflects both global and per-page CMS permissions. Also, permissions caches are used - good for performance reasons.
Other actions you can check for are:
