Django user permission inside template

Question

I created a custom auth permission in django via admin site, and i added that permission to a user (not a group), now i want to ask if the request user in a template has it but nothing works.It's not a duplicate, i already checked similar questions and none of this work:

{% if perms.auth.add_something %}

{% if 'auth.add_something' in request.user.get_all_permissions %}

{% if request.user.has_perm('add_something') %}

I add my view:

class NotificationSelectView(View):

    template = 'myapp/notification_read.html'

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        t = tree(request)
        req_var_list = []
        analist = notifications_list(request.user)
        level = LevelProcess.objects.get(
            level_hierarchical = 3
        )
        subprocess= Process.objects.filter(level = level)
        user = request.user
        t.update({
           'subprocess': subprocess,
           'analist':analist,
        })
        return render(request, self.template, t)

The idea it's to make it inside template, not to use more code in views. Any ideas ?, thanks in advance.

show your view. Particularly where does this perms come from? — e4c5, Oct 06 '16 at 23:11
I created a permission via admin site, it belongs to auth, but i don't know why it doesn't work, my view doesn't mention perms at all its just assigned to a specific user via admin site too. — jsanchezs, Oct 07 '16 at 12:33
@jsanchezs make sure you have this context processor in your settings: `django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth` — Fer Mena, Sep 14 '17 at 17:15

django in template it uses the variable perms for the permissions of the logged in user so you can use inside template

{% if perms.auth.add_something %}
 {{do_smth}}
{% endif %}

from the django documentation there is a section Authentication data in templates which describes also permissions in templates

thanks for your answer, tried that too and doesn't work either...do i have to send something from the view in order to do this ? – jsanchezs Oct 07 '16 at 12:32
