How to Build a Task Manager API with Django REST Framework: Part 3 - Authentication and Permission

Introduction Welcome back to our Django REST Framework (DRF) adventure! In Part 1, we set up our Django project, installed DRF, and built the Task model. In Part 2, we implemented API endpoints for CRUD operations, allowing us to create, read, update, and delete tasks. In Part 3, we’ll add authentication and permissions to our Task Manager API. This will ensure that only authenticated users can access and modify tasks. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a secure API where users can register, log in, and perform operations based on their permissions. Let’s dive in!
