Question

class News(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255, help_text="Short title of news")
    content = models.TextField(blank=True)
    author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    status = models.BooleanField(default=True)

how can i define these user permissions?

Reporters       # create a news
CopyEditors     # read and update
Poducers        # read, update, aprove and revoke
Rundown         # list of aproved articles
Anchors         # read only aproved articles

You need to add custom permissions into your model. Some permissions already defined which are add,delete,change and delete.But here you need to add custom permissions.

class News(models.Model):

  title = models.CharField(max_length=255, help_text="Short title of news")
  content = models.TextField(blank=True)
  author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
  created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
  updated_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
  status = models.BooleanField(default=True)


  class Meta:
     permissions = (
        ('custom_permission', 'title goes here'),

    )
